Yeddy calls Rahul a 'bachcha', says Cong chief’s Karnataka visit has ensured BJP’s win

Feb 21: Days after Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath took a dig at Congress president Rahul Gandhi by saying that his becoming opposition party chief would bring good luck to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), a similar comment has been made by former Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa.

Targeting the Gandhi scion over his recent visit to poll-bound Karnataka, for BJP strongman referred to him as ‘bachcha’ (kid). He said that the Congress president’s visit to Karnataka would ensure more than 150 seats for the BJP.

“By bringing that ‘bachcha’ to in Karnataka, we now know that we will win more than 150 seats here,” ANI quoted Yeddyurappa as saying.

Earlier this month, Yeddyurappa had mocked Rahul Gandhi by calling him an “election Hindu”. He had said then as well that arrival of Rahul Gandhi in Karnataka will only bring good fortunes for the saffron party. He further said that Rahul Gandhi's campaign in Karnataka will only fulfil BJP's dream of a "Congress Mukt Karnataka".

"I heartily welcome #ElectionHindu @OfficeOfRG to Ballari. The #Congress President will fulfil our dream of a #CongressMuktKarnataka," Yeddyurappa had posted on microblogging site Twitter.

Stating that Congress has faced huge setbacks and BJP has won wherever Rahul Gandhi has campaigned in the past, BSY said, "His arrival is like arrival of good fortune for BJP."

Rahul Gandhi had visited Karnataka in February itself and addressed several rallies and public meetings in different parts of the state. He had reportedly travelled in the state by a special bus and was accompanied by senior leaders such as Mallikarjun Kharge and Veerappa Moily. He had visited Raichur, Yadagiri and Gulbarga districts, among others.

One highlight of his event was a ‘pakoda’ break that he took during the tour with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and other senior leaders. He took the pakoda break, pictures of which went viral, in Kalmala village of Raichur district.

Bengaluru, Jun 20: Amid calls for boycott of Chinese products in the backdrop of Indo-China border face-off, former Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy sought to know from the BJP government in Karnataka the status of the "Compete with China" policy brought during the previous JDS-Congress rule.

Boycotting Chinese products was not easy like sloganeering but required a creative policy and the coalition government's initiative was a model for it, he said in a series of tweets.

"After the border skirmish, some people got the realisation to boycott the Chinese products but during my tenure (as chief minister) a serious thought was given to it," the JDS leader said.

He was apparently referring to growing clamour for boycott of China-made products after a violent clash between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in Ladakh left 20 Indian Army personnel dead early this week.

Mr Kumaraswamy said he had brought the Compete With China policy to effectively deal with the neighbouring country.

"My government's objective was to offer jobs to the local residents, snatch away market opportunities for China and discard the Chinese products."

"However, what has the present government done to our scheme? It is not known whether it is still continuing or not," Mr Kumaraswamy said.

The Kumarswamy government had identified clusters and earmarked Rs 2,000 crore for their development.
