No anti-Cong wave; anti-BJP wave in Karnataka says Siddaramaiah

Bengaluru, Dec 21: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that there was no anti-incumbent government wave in Karnataka, but an anti-BJP/Modi wave in the state which goes to polls in April-May 2018.

He was addressing a Congress rally in Belagavi on Thursday.

Siddaramaiah said that both Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi had an eye on Karnataka, given the upcoming polls.

But Modi charm that was evident in the last Lok Sabha polls had declined.

"The recent Gundlupet and Najanagud bye-elections are proof of the fact the voters now prefer Congress," he asserted.

The CM decried BJP's 'Hindutva' stance and questioned if the party 'solely owned Hindutva'?

Siddaramaiah said that the state government had waived off farmers' loans and the centre had done no such thing though State BJP President Yeddyurappa had gone public stating that he would move the centre to contribute to the effort.

"Former PM Manmohan Singh had waived farmers' loans. Let Yedyurappa gherao the Parliament now, if he wants to," the CM taunted.

Siddaramaiah called upon voters not to allow 'communal BJP or Opportunistic JD(S) to come to power'.

New Delhi, Feb 3: BJP MP Anantkumar Hegde's swipe at Mahatma Gandhi has irked the top party leadership and he may be forced to apologise, party sources said on Monday.

A senior BJP leader said the Karnataka leader's comments were "condemnable" and the party leadership is upset with him.

"The party has conveyed its displeasure to him and asked him to take remedial measure. Any insult to Mahatma Gandhi is unacceptable," he said.

Hegde, a former Union minister, reportedly claimed at an event in Bangaluru that the entire freedom movement was staged with the consent and support of the British, and the independence movement led by Gandhi was a "drama".

He also wondered why the Father of the Nation was called 'Mahatma' (a great soul).

The party leader said the Lok Sabha MP is a "disciplined" member of the party and will do what he has been asked to.

Hegde, known for hardline Hindutva leanings, has a history of making controversial remarks.

This man and some others like him have reached the peak of their madness.

 

They will not change their attitude, as they know that nobody can do any harm to them.

 

Therefore they will listen only to dire action what they deserve per the penal code. If required put him behind bars.

Dont harm them more, see their families.
