All BJP leaders including its state president are on ‘Bail gadi’: Ramanath Rai
Mangaluru, July 17: Prime Minister Narendra Modi had termed the Congress as ‘bail gaddi’ as several of its leaders were out on bail. In Karnataka, all BJP leaders including its state president were on bail. Let the Prime Minister tell what he will do with his leaders, Congress former minister B Ramanath Rai challenged.
Speaking to reporters at the party office here on Tuesday, he made a scathing attack on the BJP governance at the centre. The Narendra Modi led NDA government has been making gimmicks when the elections were approached. But it has failed on all fronts in the country, he alleged.
In the name of Jan Dhan account, the public money was credited into the banks. But the people were not benefitted. The prices of petroleum products were being increased everyday due to which, the once closed Reliance company was opened now. The domestic gas was being sold at Rs 400 during UPA tenure and now, the price was increased to Rs 800. For checking black money, the central government had introduced demonetisation. The BJP leaders had promised of crediting Rs 15 lakh to each account of the countrymen after bringing back the black money stashed outside India. During UPA tenure, the black money percentage was 44 and now, it has increased to 88 per cent. Now, the people would get Rs 30 lakh in their accounts, he ridiculed.
Then UPA government had waived off the farm loans of farmers across the country. But the NDA government was silent on the issue. But it had waived off more than Rs 2.5 lakh crore of industrialists. Bharatiya Janata Party had become a Bharatiya Joot Party, he alleged.
During Nirbhaya rape and murder, a situation was created in the country as if it was done by the Congress. But in Uttar Pradesh where the BJP is ruling, such incidents have been repeating now. Earlier, Narendra Modi had spoken about border issue. But after becoming the PM, he had met Pakistan Prime Minister. The central government was more obsessed with publicity and doing nothing good to the people, the former minister said.
The Congress had never said that it would not require the votes of Hindus or Muslims. It was a part of false propaganda, he added.
District Congress president and MLC Harish Kumar, former minister Abhayachandra Jain, former MLA JR Lobo, leaders Ibrahim Kodijal, Muhammad Hanif and others were present.

What is Iran’s 10-point plan? Key demands ahead of US talks in Islamabad
Tehran/Islamabad: Iran has outlined a 10-point plan as the basis for upcoming talks with the United States, expected to begin in Islamabad on April 11, according to a statement from the Iranian Supreme National Security Council.
The plan lays out Tehran’s key political, military and economic demands, and is being seen as a framework for negotiations following the recent escalation in the region.
Strait of Hormuz at the centre
A major focus of the plan is the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route. Iran has proposed “controlled passage through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with the Iranian armed forces,” which it says would give the country a unique economic and geopolitical position.
The plan also calls for the “establishment of a safe transit protocol” in the Strait that would guarantee Iran’s dominance under an agreed mechanism.
Call to end conflict
Iran has demanded “the necessity of ending the war against all elements of the axis of resistance,” signalling its expectation that hostilities should stop not only in Iran but also involving allied groups in the region.
US troop withdrawal
Another key demand is the “withdrawal of US combat forces from all bases and deployment points in the region,” indicating Tehran’s long-standing position against American military presence in West Asia.
Sanctions relief and compensation
The plan places strong emphasis on economic measures. It calls for “full payment of Iran’s damages according to estimates,” along with “the lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions and resolutions of the Board of Governors and the Security Council.”
It also seeks “the release of all Iranian assets and properties frozen abroad,” which have been a major point of contention for years.
Binding global guarantee
Finally, Iran has demanded that all these terms be formally recognised through “a binding Security Council resolution,” suggesting it wants international legal backing to ensure enforcement.
What this means
The 10-point plan reflects Iran’s broader push for security guarantees, economic relief and regional influence. The upcoming talks in Islamabad are expected to test how far both sides are willing to negotiate on these demands.
