Don't ask me anything, says Eshwarappa; Ravi lashes out at Guv

July 24, 2011

Mangalore, July 24: “Please…please… please don't ask me anything. This is not proper time to speak anything,” This was the response of Karnataka BJP President K S Eshwarappa to the questions posed before him over the crisis that gripped the state politics, following the leakage of Lokayukta report on illegal mining.

Mr Eshwarappa, who visited the city on Sunday along with party's State General Secretary and Chikmaglur MLA C T Ravi, held four-hour-long meeting with leaders of district unit of the PJP to assess party's organisational preparedness here.

When media persons surrounded him after the meeting, Mr Eshwarappa refused to answer any questions, saying that he did not come here for a press briefing. “Please don't force me. Next time when I come; I will invite you for a press briefing,” he said.

However Mr Ravi lashed out at Governor H R Bharadwaj and warned him against “any further attempt destabilise the democratically elected government.”

“He has already tried a lot to destabilise the BJP government in the state, but in vain. I hope that he has learnt lesson from his past failures,” Mr Ravi said.

Dkshina Kannada is the 21st district that Eshwarappa is touring in Karnataka as part of organisational efforts. He later headed to Udupi after paying a visit to Sanghanikethan, the local RSS headquarters here.

Mangalore MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, Deputy Speaker of Karnataka Legislative Assembly N Yogish Bhat and DK District in-charge Minister Krishna J Palemar were also present in the meeting.

"Guidelines are applicable to all citizens, but there are certain exemption clauses, for those who hold certain responsible posts," Gowda told media on being asked about allegations by opposition parties that he did not go to required institutional quarantine after domestic air travel from Delhi to Bengaluru.

"I am a Minister and I am heading Pharmaceutical Ministry. If the supply of medicines and other things is not proper then what doctors can do for patients, is it not a failure of government? It' is my responsibility to ensure the supply of medicines to each corner of the country," he said.

Earlier in the day, the BJP MP, who arrived at Bengaluru airport from Delhi and straight away got into his car and drove to his residence. He skipped the institutional quarantine measures as set by the Central government.

Karnataka Director General of Police Praveen Sood said: "Incoming domestic flight passengers from Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Delhi, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Delhi and Madhya Pradesh will undergo 7-day institutional Quarantine followed by home quarantine."

This is called has nagpur soldiers. He might think this virus has given excuse to all bjpean's or why he jumped out from the airport quarantine regulation. If the virus infected to any others what will.he do. What will his media will telecast. Same like Delhi they will target some other community.

All must be away from him and his associates.

Here it is the duty of each individuals to keep distance and stay safe.

Not like our qualified leaders and ministers
