Exaggerating things is Modi’s nature; I don’t care if he hails or slams me: Deve Gowda

Newsroom, May 6: Former prime minister and Janata Dal (Secular) supromo has said that he never considered the words of the incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the latter has a habit of exaggerating things.

“Exaggerating things is Modi’s nature,” said the octogenarian leader when asked about the PM’s generosity in praising him. Addressing a rally in Udupi a few days ago, the PM had vociferously praised Gowda and accused Congress supremo Rahu Gandhi of disrespecting him.

“In Udupi, Modi said that a former prime minister was disrespected. But somebody might have told him that his remarks could help Deve Gowda. Also, after I attacked him, he revised his stand. I don’t care if he praises or criticises me. I can’t keep getting bogged down by what X, Y or Z says,” said Gowda in an interview.

He also rubbished the reports on JD(S)-BJP secret pact in poll-bound Karnataka and claimed the regional party would both the national parties and form a government with 113 or 115 MLAs.

“I have attacked Modi very bitterly. What more do you want? No Indian politician has attacked him like I have. My party doesn’t need any secret pact with any party,” he said.

As many as 66 people have tested positive for COVID-19 in Nanjangud.

While investigating the source of virus in what is now known as 'Nanjangud cluster', the Mysuru administration could get information that 10 foreign nationals had visited this town, Kumar told reporters.

Soon the External Affairs Ministry's help was sought which managed to track nine of them, Kumar said, adding that the MEA contacted its embassies in China, Germany, Japan and the USA to track these persons.

"Out of 10, they could contact nine and got details. All of them have said that they were all healthy and they did not have any symptoms.

Hence, they did not feel the need to undergo COVID-19 tests," the minister said.
