‘Is this what happens when you’re on POT,’ asks Ramya on PM Modi’s TOP priority

February 5, 2018

New Delhi, Feb 5: Congress social media head and Karnataka leader Divya Spandana Ramya took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi wondering if he was on “pot”, a put-down which invited a sharp response from the BJP by calling it atrocious and “insult” to the masses.

Ramya’s swipe came following Modi’s comment in a rally in Karnataka during which he said farmers are his top priority and described ‘TOP’ as tomato, onion and potato.

On Sunday, she tweeted, “Is this what happens when you’re on POT?”

The BJP hit back at Ramya for her choice of words with party spokesperson G V L Narasimha Rao tweeting, “Most people of the country and our party members won’t even know what you are referring to (including PM himself) but your Leader will connect with it instantly. While you have insulted people of India with your atrocious comment, your leader will be proud of you!!”

BJP’s IT wing head Amit Malviya said more than 3,500 farmers have committed suicide in Karnataka, the highest for any state in India, but “speaking for them is being on ‘POT’… Congress keeps it classy, again”.

“Will Rahul Gandhi maintain silence on Divya Spandana’s comment while he sacked Mani Shankar Aiyar just because his jibe came close to Gujarat election and Karnataka is still some months away? Or sacrificing his close aide, responsible for his rise as a leader, takes some courage?” he asked in a tweet.

The Congress had suspended Aiyar from the party for his “neech” (lowly) jibe at Modi during the Gujarat Assembly polls.

Ramya is right, after the recent by-election where Rajastan gave Triple Talaq to BJP and wash out in WB, Modiji is in melting POT.  He might be thinking Tomato, Onion and Potato will supplement PAKODA preparation. Sirji, we need Fascist mukth Bharat, not Congress mukht Bharat.

Bengaluru, July 31: Denying irregularities in covid-19 equipment purchase by the Karnataka government, the state unit of the BJP has issued legal notices to Congress leaders Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar demanding that they apologize or face a defamation suit. 

The notices seek a public apology for the allegations levelled against the government on irregularities in the procurement of Covid-19 equipment and supplies. 

Both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar, the Karnataka Congress president, have been doggedly pursuing allegations of corruption against the BJP government and have demanded a judicial inquiry. 

BJP general secretary N Ravi Kumar said that while the Congress leaders claimed that Rs 4,157 crore was spent during Covid-19, they also allege that the government has not responded to any of the 20 letters written by them. "If the government has not provided any answer to the Opposition, where did they get the figures from," he said.

None of the allegations of corruption is specific and the statements made are factually incorrect. "These statements, without any basis, have been issued calculatedly to lower the image and damage the reputation of the government, the Bharatiya Janata Party, representatives of the party and the ministers in the government," the notice issued on behalf of Ravi Kumar read.

Ordained by Sri Murugarajendra Koraneswara Swami of the mutt, Dewan Sharief Mullah claims he was taking the step not under any duress but after being "guided by the almighty".

"Nobody asked me to do it. The almighty came in my mind and guided me.... They have put the sacred thread and given me the responsibility. They have given me the 'Ishta-linga' and this honour. I have done the 'Ishta-linga dharan'. I will walk on the path of dharma. Love and sacrifice is the message given to me. That is what I want to propagate," he said.

Sri Murugarajendra Koraneswara Swami said, "It does not matter what caste you belong to. If God appears to you for a path of goodwill and sacrifice, you will do it regardless of the manmade restrictions of birth and caste."
