Modi himself is the middleman in Rafale deal: Gundurao

Shivamogga, Apr 11: KPCC president Dinesh Gundurao on Wednesday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi may have to go to jail one day in the Rafale case. Speaking to reporters in the city, he said that the Supreme Court order on Monday is very crucial. “The tragedy is that in this scam, PM Modi himself is the middleman,” he alleged.

“The income tax department has become the BJP’s I-T department. It is working like a BJP department. Today, people are losing confidence in various Central government agencies,” he said.

“The I-T department officers are working like BJP activists,” he charged.

He welcomed the Election Commission’s decision to ban the NaMo biopic and NaMo TV.

“No one really knows what is the real achievement of Modi as the Prime Minister in the past five years. One positive development is that youths today are realising that Modi has fooled them. There is a huge difference in what Modi had assured in 2014 and what he is talking now. People are understanding the truth,” he said.

He also pointed out why Modi is frequently referring to Pakistan. “Pakistan Prime Minister himself is saying that let BJP come to power. Because Pak plan is that if BJP comes to power it will become easier for the country to grab Kashmir,” he said.

“BJP is engaged in dividing this country. Modi claims that he is chowkidar. But shares dais with Yeddyurappa. Even today no one is aware why Modi implemented the demonetisation,” he said.

Dinesh stated that in Mandya, Mysuru and other Lok Sabha constituencies, former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda, former chief minister Siddaramaiah and other leaders will campaign together. “In KR Nagar, which is part of Mandya Lok Sabha constituency, AICC president Rahul Gandhi himself will address a rally,” he said.

“The difference between Congress and JD(S) activists and leaders have been resolved. We are working together. Our aim is to win more than 22 Lok Sabha seats in the state,” he said.

Hubballi, Jan 6: Elected representatives of the BJP, Congress and JD(S) on Sunday decided to sink their differences and fight unitedly for Karnataka’s rightful share in the Mahadayi and Kalasa-Banduri water dispute with Goa.

The meeting convened by JD(S) MLC Basavaraj Horatti here saw participation of BJP ministers Prahlad Joshi and Jagadish Shettar, Congress and JD(S) lawmakers, among others.

After a 70-minute closed door meeting, MLC Horatti told reporters that they discussed the water dispute in detail and decided to take steps based on inputs from legal and technical experts on the rightful apportioning of water. “Today, we took the first big step towards the overall development of the region, unencumbered by political divisions,” he said.

Though the air was filled with a sense of jubilation as the issue had united seemingly hostile political parties on one side, a few activists expressed disappointment that the meeting failed to set a timeline to resolve the dispute.
