Karnataka BJP mounts pressure on Cong over charges against Venugopal

Bengaluru, Nov 11: The allegations of sexual exploitation levelled against K.C. Venugopal, AICC general secretary in-charge of Karnataka, provided fresh fuel for the BJP who traded charges with the Congress over the issue.

While the Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly Jagadish Shettar demanded that the AICC should immediately withdraw the services of Mr. Venugopal from Karnataka as the party’s in-charge, the Karnataka Pradesh Congres Committee (KPCC) President G. Parameshwara defended Mr. Venugopal and said the allegations were politically motivated and aimed at tarnishing his image.

Addressing a press conference, Mr. Shettar slammed the Congress pointing out that Mr. Venugopal’s name figured in the Justice G. Shivarajan Commission report that was tabled in the Kerala Assembly on Thursday.

“There are also allegations of rape against him. He has no right to speak about others and should own responsibility and go back from Karnataka. Otherwise, the BJP will launch an agitation,” Mr. Shettar said.

In a separate press conference, Mr. Parameshwara said the allegations were baseless and politically motivated. “The CPM-led LDF government in Kerala, backed by the ruling BJP at the Centre, have been making allegations since 2013 but have not been able to establish any wrongdoing or corruption. The Judicial Inquiry Commission, instituted to probe into the allegations, has not come out with any findings or substantiated any allegations,” he said.

“Mr. Venugopal has already denied all the allegations and has even filed a defamation case against Sarita Nair (who made the allegations) and certain sections of the media at CJM court, Ernakulam. Let us wait for the court to decide. The Congress will face all allegations and prove them as nothing but politically motivated,” he said.

Pointing out that the party’s image had been built up after Mr. Venugopal was entrusted with the responsibility of managing the party’s affairs in Karnataka, Mr. Parameshwara said the BJP is indulging in “cheap politics” as it is unable to digest his popularity in the State.

Bengaluru, Mar 13: Senior IPS officer KSR Charan Reddy, who was the Additional Director General of Police in Criminal Investigation Department, Karnataka passed away in Bengaluru on Friday after prolonged illness. 

He was reportedly battling cancer for at least three years now and had suffered multiple recurs after treatment. 

"Shri Charan Reddy, IPS, ADGP, Karnataka State, passed away this morning, after a prolonged illness. He was one of our finest officers. Always stood tall and held his head high!! May his soul rest in peace," Retired IPS officer and former Director General of Police (Fire Services) MN Reddi tweeted. 

IPS officer Charan Reddy was heading the Special Investigation Team of the Lokayukta when he arrested Vijayanagara MLA Anand Singh in 2015 for illegally transporting iron ore out of Ballari. The illegal mining scam had rocked the former BJP government in 2011.

Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa condoled his death and said that he was an honest officer in the state. "Charan Reddy was a dedicated and honest officer. I pray that his soul rests in peace. I pray that god gives his family the strength to go through such a turbulent time after his departure," BS Yediyurappa tweeted. 

A 1993-batch IPS officer, Charan Reddy KSR is originally from Chittoor and has served under various departments of the state's police force. He was serving as the Inspector General of Police in Belagavi division in 2013, when he was transferred to Bengaluru as the IGP (Training). In 2014, he was posted as the IGP of the SIT probing the illegal mining scam in which former Tourism Minister Gali Janardhana Reddy is also allegedly involved.

He was transferred out of the SIT in Lokayukta in 2016 and posted as Additional Commissioner of Police (law and order) in Bengaluru. He served as the ADGP of Crime in Mangaluru in 2018 and was later appointed as the Additional Director General of Police (training) the same year. In 2019, he was transferred and appointed as the ADGP of CID.

Bengaluru, Apr 21: Hardline BJP leader and Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya, who had deleted some of his old sexist tweets while contesting for Lok Sabha polls, yesterday deleted deleted his ugly remarks against Arab woman after it went viral and triggered sharp response from  many quarters, including from the Arab world.

In 2015, before Surya became an MP, he had said in a tweet, "95% of Arab women have never had an orgasm in the last few hundred years! Every mother has produced kids as an act of sex and not love. @Tarek Fatah."

The old tweet was picked up some influential members in the Arab community. Many intellectuals and various members of the royal families too have over the past few days condemned the attacks on Muslims in India and called out instances on Islamophobia. They have been highlighting derogatory comments about the Arab community purportedly made by supporters of the ruling BJP. It was then that a few found that even present day recognised leaders like Tejasvi had made similar comments in the past.

As the outrage grew, Tejasvi deleted the old tweet. A lot of BJP supporters on Twitter then started pointing out that Tejasvi Surya had merely quoted Canadian journalist Tareh Fatah, known for his anti-Islam comments. But by then someone had archived the tweet and Tejasvi's response to it in 2015.

In a thread to the same tweet, responding to criticism, Surya had said that these were not his opinion but attributed to Tarek Fatah. He also said that he agrees with Fateh's position that 'Islamofascism was a threat to all civilsations'.

Surya could not be reached for a comment.

However, a source close to Surya, said, "This is a 2015 tweet where Tejasvi Surya was quoting Tarek Fatah from an interview. It is being wrongly attributed to him with malicious intent. The main issue being addressed in the interview was about the barbaric and inhuman practice of genital mutilation of women. If there's any person to comment on it, it has to be Tarek Fatah."

Tejasvi Surya had landed in a similar controversy soon after his nomination as a candidate just ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

The Congress also stepped in to criticise Surya and the BJP, national spokesperson Sanjay Jha said in a tweet, “The BJP gives tickets to Pragya Singh Thakur and #TejasviSurya etc because it helps popularise their hardline bigoted political profile. But the chickens usually come home to roost. Today, India stands embarrassed, humiliated.”

This fellow from the bottom to now educted and trained in rss organization  and in their school. And he was nomnated by the terror rss HQ only to ignite  terror and communal activity and  not form any social work or record. He was elected by WVM poeer and not by peoples choice. One or th other day EVM  secracy will be unlocked  thenall these chaddi Dhaari will be side lined and vanished by the peace loving  PATRIOT Indians.

 

 Now the present ruling party's policy and steps all are 100% jews guideline all behind the screen.

 

But truth  always  leads and Win.  

So blind bhaks must awake and divert  their mind toward TRUTH to lead a peace life in the human society.

Thejaswi or his god fathers will never  support - their group adn policy is entirely diffenetn and they never support or mingle with fellow Hindus.  All must remeber and  think about their beloved family and dependents i/o of rss chaddi.

 

Jai Hind

still now arab belived Hindus are good people, now one by one coming to know their evil mindset which is inside their heart...most of the hindus are nowdays communual, so all muslim must be carefull.

 

one of my hindu friend who is with me from childhood 20 years recently supported CAA and NRC and we divide, till then i never thought that he was like this, i supported him finiancially in all help...

 

INDIA is belog to muslim first then to hindus, we are the front runner of indian independence,

 

so all muslim community first support his community either in job, money, help etc...for them they have their BJP & RSS.

 

Now in saudi & UAE they annonced that any Hindutva militen who is spreading against muslim & islam sitiing in GCC must be reoported without any delay.

 

Hope marons will learn a lesson of their life. Jai hind
