Reject BJP, it’s playing the politics of lies; I was a fool to believe in Modi: Jethmalani

Bengaluru, May 8: Accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party of “playing the politics of lies”, former Union minister and senior advocate Ram Jethmalani urged the Indians in general and Kannadigas in particular to reject the saffron party and put an end to the falsehoods of the Union government.

Speaking at the ‘Meet the Press’ programme at the Press Club of Bangalore, Jethmalani said: “Modi had come to me and had praised my fight against corruption, and I trusted him. Because of this, I helped them from 2008 until my expulsion from the party; I even drew up their manifesto, which was a mirror of change and development.”

Referring to the BJP manifesto, he said the saffron party had spoken of bringing back black money to the country. However, during the last four years, no efforts have been made to achieve this objective. Still, BJP national president Mr Amit Shah talks about black money in his election campaigns, which sounds funny, he said.

“I have made 18 charges against the BJP government and they have not replied to even a single charge. The Supreme Court will be giving its judgment on black money before July 15. Then, everyone will know the truth. Mr Modi had promised to bring back black money and give Rs 15 lakh to every citizen and it has turned out to be a lie. I was a fool to believe that,'' Mr Jethmalani said.

Jethmalani said: “People should be wary of the promises made by the Modi government, and North India is already suffering because of trusting him.” He urged voters not to fall for false promises of BJP. Voters should cast their ballot not on the basis of religious ideology, he said.

Jethmalani said both the Congress and the BJP had failed to respond to his request to get the list of 1,400 accounts in the Swiss Bank. “They failed me because they have vested interests,” he added.

Davanagere, Apr 8: BJP MLA from Honnali constituency, MP Renukacharya, said that the government should not ignore those who attended Tablighi Jamaat event in Delhi and are escaping detection, and it is not wrong if the person is shot.

"Anyone who attended Tablighi meet, is not coming out for medical checkups and is escaping detection. The government should not ignore them. Even if he is shot, it is not wrong. Otherwise, the virus will spread throughout the entire country. In China it started with one person," Renukacharya said on Tuesday.

"We are suffering because someone is not coming for check-up. I request them to come voluntarily to the doctors and District Magistrates. Not all minorities are terrorists and not all of them are anti-nationals," he added.

A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking direction for the government to impose a complete ban on all activities of the Tablighi Jamaat with immediate effect.

Over 1,000 coronavirus cases in India are linked to Tablighi Jamaat gathering. Hundreds of people who are related to Tablighi Jamaat have been quarantined.
