Udupi, October 24: The Congress has questioned as to what credibility the BJP has to take out 'Janachethana Yathra'.

“At a time when the BJP led State government is caught in one or the other scam how can BJP leader L K Advani take out a Yathra against corruption,” said AICC Secretary Shantharam Nayak.

Addressing a press meet here on Monday, he said that crores of rupees were spent on similar yathras in the past. However, the BJP has failed to provide any account on the expenditure of the yathra till today.

'Give accounts'

He urged Advani to provide accounts of the yathra after completing the yathra.

“The BJP is losing its popularity in the State. The BJP has been demanding to bring back black money stashed abroad. In reality, it was one of the BJP leaders who had deposited huge amount in the Swiss Bank. Unfortunately, the leader is no more,” he said.

“The BJP President Nithin Gadkari acts the way RSS wants him to act. Hence, the BJP does not have any control over him,” he said.

“The image of the State has been spoiled by the former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa. If given a chance, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Nithin Gadkari would have denotified even Taj Mahal,” he ridiculed adding that Team Anna has no respect for the Constitution. The Jan Lokpal Bill will not help any commonman, Nayak said.

Ready for polls

He said the Congress is ready to face the forthcoming Udupi-Chikmagalur by-election.

“We have held meetings in Udupi, Kaup, Karkala and Kundapura to discuss on the by-election. However, we have not taken any decision on the candidate.” Former ministers Jayaprakash Hegde, Vasanth Kumar Salian were present.

Chennai, July 27: Multi-lingual actress Vijayalakshmi, who attempted suicide yesterday, alleging harassment and bullying by followers of Naam Thamizhar party leader Seeman and Panankattu Padai’s Hari Nadar, is recuperating at a hospital in Chennai. 

Vijayalakshmi is known for films like Friends and Boss Engira Baskaran. She recently made headlines for speaking against Seeman and the torture she was allegedly facing from the actor-turned-politician and his party.

In the video which was uploaded on Sunday evening, Vijayalakshmi said, “This is my last video and I have been in tremendous stress in the last four months because of Seeman and his partymen. I tried my level best to survive all these days because of my mother and sister, but I have been humiliated in the media by Harinadar recently.”

She added, “I would like to tell fans who are watching the video just because I was born in Karnataka, Seeman has tortured me a lot. As a woman, I have put up with it to my highest capabilities. I won’t be able handle the pressure anymore. I am from the Pillai community, the same community LTTE leader Prabhakaran is part of. Prabhakaran is the only reason Seeman is who he is today, but now he has been harassing me on social media continuously. You slut shamed me to make me feel the pain and it is up to me to decide on what to do after facing such insults from you. I request my fans not to let Seeman get away from this case. He should never get anticipatory bail. My death should be a big eye-opener to everyone. I don’t want to be a slave to anybody.”
