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.

Bengaluru, Jun 17: Amid rising COVID cases in the past two weeks, the Karnataka government is planning to increase testing capacity to 25,000 samples a day, said a minister.

"Due to increase in cases in the last two weeks, the government is trying to scale up testing to 15,000 to 25,000 samples per day," said Medical Education Minister K. Sudhakar.

He said people living in crowded places, sanitation workers, street vendors, healthcare workers, police and other frontline staff would be extensively tested.

"It has also been decided to mandatorily test all those who have symptoms of Influenza Like Illness (ILI) and Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI)," he said.

Similarly, all people over 50 with ILI symptoms will be tested.

The health department will also randomly test samples in old containment zones to make sure that the infection is not recurring.

Currently, there are 72 Covid testing labs in the southern state, 41 government operated and 31 private labs.

However, for a few days, the number of Covid tests in the state have plummeted.

On Monday, the health department has tested only 5,362 samples across the state.

Likewise, on Tuesday, only 7,936 samples were tested, diverging from earlier weeks when around 10,000 cases were tested on an average.

In all, 4.57 lakh samples have been tested so far, of which 4.39 lakh have tested negative.
