Hassan, Oct 23: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken all institutions under his control, and an undeclared Emergency was in effect in the country, former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda has said.

He told presspersons here on Wednesday that the Prime Minister has got an officer from Gujarat cadre to the Election Commission. “Not only Election Commission, almost all institutions including the CBI and Reserve Bank of India are headed by people from his State.”

“The Prime Minister visited Gujarat three times and announced a package of thousands of crores. An associate of Hardik Patel, leader of the Patidar movement, has said he was offered ₹ 1 crore to join the BJP. The BJP is the founder of Operation Lotus in Karnataka. Now it seems B.S.Yeddyurappa has taught the same to his party president Amit Shah to execute it in Gujarat”, Mr. Deve Gowda said.

Gujarat scenario

“Mr. Modi was Chief Minister of Gujarat for 12 years. Even after ruling the State for such a long time, he recently said the UPA rule did not allow him to develop Gujarat. It has been four years since he assumed the office of Prime Minister. Gujarat has been ruled by the BJP only. Why could not he develop the State all these years even after having power both at the Centre and the State?” the former Prime Minister wondered.

Regarding a pre-poll survey predicting a victory for the BJP in Gujarat, Mr. Deve Gowda said according to the information he received there would be a tough fight between the BJP and the Congress.

The JD(S) leader said his party would stage a protest on November 8 against the note ban. Regarding the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax, he said, “The government is engaged in bringing in many changes in the GST. I don’t know how many changes it will make before the elections in Gujarat.”
