Facepalm moment for Amit Shah as Karnataka CM gives it back to him on Twitter

News Network

January 27, 2018

Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah’s reply to Bharatiya Janata Party supremo Amit Shah on Twitter after the latter accused the former of indulging in corruption has gone viral on social media. Siddaramaiah not only challenged Shah to present evidence to prove the allegations made against him but also reminded that the latter was a jailbird.

During a rally in Mysuru on Thursday Shah had accused the Siddaramaiah government of being “synonymous with corruption” and also accused him of protecting the killers of Hindu activists. That evening, he also tweeted: “Siddaramaiah govt has crossed all limits of corruption. In Karnataka, Siddaramaiah and corruption are synonyms. Siddaramaiah means corruption and corruption means Siddaramaiah.”

On Friday morning, Siddaramaiah tweeted: “Says an ex-jailbird, who chose another former jailbird to be his party’s CM candidate for our Karnataka election. Can he present facts about the so-called corruption charges against me or my govt.? Just telling lies won’t help. People will not believe his #jumlas.”

This was a dig at Shah being in judicial custody in 2010 in connection with the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case, and to the party State president B.S. Yeddyurappa’s arrest in 2011 in connection with the irregularities in denotification of land.

Siddaramaiah also replied to a tweet by Kannada activist Ganesh Chetan criticising Amit Shah for being silent on the Mahadayi issue during his speech in Mysuru. The Chief Minister shot back: “Not his fault! Nobody told him about #Mahadayi. He reads an outdated speech about Tipu, corruption & a fictitious ₹2 lakh crore that the Central govt. supposed to have given us. @AmitShah ravare, next time please read about #Mahadayi before coming here.”

Shah’s visit to Mysuru came on a day when the State was witnessing a bandh over the Mahadayi water-sharing issue with Goa.

Both people's hands are dirty. They are not doing proper governing. Instead of wasting time for this kind of things, should focus on good adiministration

Waste of time. They are dipping themself in mud to blame others

Instead of abusing verbally, both people should try to do good things to people.

Face palm moment for siddu. Where is Gauri murderer?

Well said CM

BJP is a stinking and sinking ship in Karnataka whose leaders are corrupt, criminals, immoral gangs are in deep shi..The fear of Siddaramaiah, his popularity, people friendly schems and a clean administration worriying these good for nothing culprits who looted the state during their tenure. People understand BJP's frustration and Criminal Leader's open call to its cadres to commit violence in the state to divide people and garner votes. Karnataka is NOT Gujrat, it will not work here.

Shantanu Gupta’s book on BJP to become part of curriculum in Indonesia’s Islamic University

News Network

February 24,2020

New Delhi, Feb 24: A book on the history of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will become a part of a course in the Islamic University of Indonesia, as the party’s two consecutive victories in India’s general elections has evoked interest among academicians, a faculty member said.

The book, titled Bhartiya Janata Party — Past, Present & Future, Story of World’s Largest Political Party and written by Shantanu Gupta, will become a part of the syllabus for undergraduate students of South Asian studies in the Department of International Relations.

Hadza Min Fadhli, a faculty member at the university, said there was a rising interest in the BJP’s rise among academicians in Indonesia, especially after the party won two general elections in India.

He said the book would be part of the syllabus for undergraduate courses in South Asian studies in the Department of International Relations.

Mr. Hadza said he got to know about the book during a recent visit to India as part of the Kautilya Fellowship programme, organised by the India Foundation. “We in Indonesia intend to further strengthen our relations with India. Therefore, it is important to understand its ruling party. We expect the BJP would also intend to do the same,” Mr. Hadza said.

When asked about the book being selected to be a part of a course in an Indonesian university, Mr. Gupta said global recognition of his work is immensely satisfying.

This book chronicles the history of the BJP which, Mr. Gupta said, described the saffron party as the latest political manifestation of the various nationalist movements that the country has seen.

Mr. Gupta has authored five other books, including a biography of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and a book on football in India.

Stupidity of faculty.

They should know the reaction of Malaysians to BJP's attrocities.

When Malaysia outright knows BJP's agenda, they reacted.

This decission of Indonesian faculty shows clear stupidity and his mental stability.

God give wisdom to Indonesians

HDK accuses Mandya district admn of not quarantining 7,000 Mumbai labourers

News Network

May 2,2020

Bengaluru, May 2: JDS leader and former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy accused the Mandya district administration of the surge in COVID-19 cases in the district and not quarantining 7,000 labourers who arrived here from Mumbai.

"As we know that 16,000 labourers from Mandya were working in Mumbai, out of which 7,000 people have arrived in the district. However, none of them was quarantined properly which is a violation of COVID-19 lockdown," Kumaraswamy told reporters here on Friday.

He claimed the district administration has shown "gross negligence" in their duty in following the procedure of COVID-19 as "one COVID-19 patient's dead body which was brought here from Mumbai has led to more cases in the district and those who accompanied the body have also tested positive for the virus."

Kumaraswamy appealed to the state government to strictly maintain lockdown norms and do not allow any relaxations in view of the rise in COVID-19 cases, stating that "any kind of relaxation could lead to a huge disaster."
