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.

Karwar, Jun 3: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an alert, predicting thundershowers and heavy rainfall over north interior Karnataka, coastal Dakshina Kannada and Udupi over the next three days.

With Cyclone Nisarga hitting the Uttara Kannada coast on Tuesday,  parts of coastal Karnataka received heavy rainfall. Gusty winds tore through the coastal towns, as the sea too turned violent with rough waves smashing the shore.

The alert was issued with the advancement of Nisarga from east-central Arabian Sea to north Maharashtra, and adjoining south Gujarat coast. “Though it does not cover Karnataka, the range of cyclonic winds is very big and reaches north interior Karnataka also.

So an alert has been called out,” CS Patil, director in-charge, IMD, Bengaluru, said. The weather department has forecast a severe cyclonic storm and then a depression. Patil said formation of systems is a common factor before the onset of the monsoon and they help in its advancement.

“Cyclone Nisarga is helping in the quick advancement of the southwest monsoon to Karnataka, and the monsoon is likely to arrive before the scheduled date as conditions are favourable,” he added.
