BJP government must be removed for nation's interest: Congress
New Delhi, July 3: Hitting out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi who slammed opposition attempts at unity as based on hatred against him, Congress on Tuesday said "he has a mindset of conflict" and that in the "larger interest of the nation", it was necessary to remove the BJP government.
Accusing Modi of giving "false statements" due to the "bitterness" in him, senior Congress leader Anand Sharma said that he looks on the Congress as a "personal enemy".
Noting the opposition has a responsibility and a duty to oppose the government on wrong policies, he said that Modi has not changed from "a mindset of conflict".
"What does he (Modi) expect from the opposition and Congress that we will not oppose the government. It is surprising that the Prime Minister has complained that there is opposition to him. Modiji is so full of arrogance that he is comparing himself with the the nation."
"The Prime Minister and the government have to be defeated, it is necessary to remove it. It is necessary for the country's interest. There is nothing wrong in attempting this along with all like-minded opposition parties," he added.
Sharma said: "The Prime Minister said this 'alliance' was not in national interest. We have not sought his certificate. Not talking about him, but the government has to be removed for the country's interest. We do not need his advice. We will think about it. We will also ensure that the job is completed."
Slamming Modi for failing to deliver on his promises, he said this government should go because it has betrayed the people of the country.
"Atrocities against children and women have increased, mob lynchings, vigilantism. If this is good governance, then what would be bad governance?" he asked.

MLA Yashpal Suvarna diverts from bank irregularities by targeting Waqf, alleges Congress leader
Udupi: Udupi District Congress Minority Division President Sharfuddeen Sheikh Majoor has accused MLA Yashpal Suvarna of attempting to deflect attention from alleged financial irregularities at Mahalakshmi Co-operative Bank by shifting the focus to the waqf land issue. In a statement issued on Friday, Sheikh Majoor criticized Suvarna’s recent public protests, asserting they were a means to avoid scrutiny over the alleged mismanagement at the bank.
According to Majoor, Suvarna has faced allegations regarding his involvement in financial misappropriations at the Malpe-based Mahalakshmi Co-operative Bank, where irregularities reportedly amount to ₹20 crore. Customers have alleged that they received loans of only ₹20,000 from the bank, which later demanded repayment on loans of up to ₹2 lakh without proper documentation.
Majoor claimed that Suvarna was resorting to “diversion tactics” by making unsubstantiated accusations against the Muslim community under the guise of waqf-related issues. "By staging protests and storming into the Deputy Commissioner’s office, Suvarna is attempting to draw public attention away from the bank scandal," said Majoor.
Highlighting the BJP’s stance on waqf encroachments, Majoor pointed out that the previous BJP-led government had issued numerous notices to farmers regarding alleged encroachments of waqf land, a policy mentioned in the party’s 2014 Lok Sabha election manifesto.
The Congress leader further added that the people of Karnataka are aware of Suvarna’s tactics and the underlying intentions of his protests.
