Kumaraswamy dares Siddaramaiah to contest as independent and win

Bengaluru, Jan 16: JD(S) state president H D Kumaraswamy challenged Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to contest the Assembly elections as an independent and win to prove his claim about personal charisma.

Speaking to reporters after inducting former minister Anand Asnotikar who quit the BJP into the JD(S), Kumaraswamy said Siddaramaiah, in his early days, grew politically due to the support of former prime minister H D Deve Gowda.

"He is surviving today because of the Congress. Personally, he has no political base or strength, but claims to command enormous public appeal and charisma. Let him prove his claim by contesting without a Congress ticket and win the election," challenged Kumaraswamy.

Kumaraswamy rubbished Siddaramaiah's charge that he (Kumaraswamy) was a "political opportunist".

"It is the Congress and BJP which approached me for support. I have never knocked on the doors of either the Congress or the BJP". He said there will be a lot of political developments in the coming weeks which will reveal the strength of the JD(S).

Speaking on the occasion, Gowda said Siddaramaiah had become inevitable to the Congress due to dearth of leaders. He said the JD(S) would come to power on its own after the elections.

Gowda said he had performed the Satharudra Yajna at Sringeri Shankara Mutt in Chikkamagaluru district recently not to defeat his political opponents as claimed by the Congress. "The yajna was conducted for the welfare of the people of the state," he said.

Taking a potshot at BJP's Hindutva plank, Gowda said, "Tolerance is the philosophy of Hindusim. But if you are intolerant to other religions, what sort of Hindutva are you practising?"

Everyone knows no political leader is clean & Clear with their Background. So no point asking others to do something. First you try to do that & then challenge others. Do you dare to do ? Hum Kisi se Kum Nahi ..Hamare ______ mein Dum Nahiiii ...................

HDK wants to defeat Siddaramaiah by playing any game. that's it

In Mangaluru pro-CAA rally Rajnath Singh rakes up Kashmiri Pundit issue

Mangaluru, Jan 27: No power can now stop Kashmiri Pandits from going back to Kashmir, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Monday, forcefully defending the NDA government’s decision to reorganise Jammu and Kashmir and abrogating its special status under Article 370.

Addressing a massive pro-CAA, NRC rally organised by the Bharatiya Janata Party at Gold Finch city, Kuloor, on the outskirts of the city, the Defence minister also sent a strong message to Pakistan and said India will not let anyone live in peace if it is harmed.

"We will not touch anyone, but if someone bothers us, then we are not going to let them live in peace," he said.

Referring to the exodus of a large number of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley in the late 1990s at the height of militancy, Singh said no power now can stop them from returning to their homes.

On the Citizenship Amendment Act, the minister said it is not a law to hurt the sentiments of any religion but to give relief to victims of religious persecution.

Mahatma Gandhi had told Nehru to give citizenship to minorities like Hindus and Sikhs if they come to India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has fulfilled that vision by bringing in the law, Singh said.

On several non-BJP states refusing to implement the CAA, the defence minister said it it is a central law and everyone should follow it.

Accusing the Congress of misleading people on the issue, he said the party should not forget its duty towards the nation just because it is in opposition.
