Cong is more dangerous than Muslims: MLA Angara
BJP SC/ST Morcha meeting
Puttur, May 7: When Muslims have been trying to organize their community, Congress leaders have been dividing the Hindus due to which Congress is more dangerous than Muslims, said Sullia MLA Angara.
Speaking at the BJP SC/ST Morcha meeting here on Monday, he said that after Congress came to power in the state, it has been planning and executing its schemes to oppress the Hindus in the state. By bringing in Anti-Superstitious Belief, the government has hurt the sentiments of the Hindus. Through this, it has been appeasing the Muslims and dividing the Hindus. But people are aware of this strategy. The BJP would win 150 seats this time, he said.
The Congress leaders have been alleging that he has made illegal property. But this allegation is far from truth. If he has any of such illegal property, he would be happy to give it to Congress, he said.
BJP candidate Sanjeeva Marandur said that Ganga Kalyana scheme was being implemented properly. But in the last five years, the Congress did not find any beneficiaries. It has given the benefit of the scheme to its own supporters. Despite its ruling for the last 65 years, the Congress has done nothing for the welfare of backward classes. It has been misusing the name of Dr BR Ambedkar. But they do not have moral right to say the name of Ambedkar. It was NDA government which gave him the Bharat Ratna Award and BJP is committed to fulfill his intensions, he said.
“We have lost many of our friends during Congress administration. So, people should not give another chance to the Congress”, he said appealing the people to support him in the name of Hindutva.
ZP president Meenakshi Manjunath, MLC Kota Srinivas Poojary, party state SC Morcha president Bhagirathi, Puttur SC Morcha president Kittu Ajila, taluk panchayat president Bhavani Chidanand, vice president Rajeshwari and others were present.

BJP dreaming to win polls with money power: West Bengal BJP MLA after bypoll loss
Kolkata, Nov 23: As the ruling Trinamool Congress swept the by-elections in six assembly seats in West Bengal, Kurseong's party MLA Bishnu Prasad Sharma attacked the state leadership, saying the party dreams of winning polls with money power and that it sidelines legislators and gives "unnecessary importance and responsibilities" to MPs.
The TMC retained five of the six seats it had previously won during the 2021 polls, while wresting the key Madarihat seat from the saffron camp in north Bengal’s Alipurduar district.
In a Facebook post, Sharma alleged, "The BJP runs a membership drive in West Bengal over the phone from a Kolkata office, while party leaders turn a blind eye to factionalism within the party. The party sidelines MLAs and gives unnecessary importance and responsibilities to MPs. It dreams of winning elections relying on money power. Despite having no shortage of political issues in the state, it centers its politics solely around religion."
"The BJP accuses opponents of corruption while carrying Adani and Ambani on its shoulders. It tries to undermine the rights of the indigenous population by luring Bangladeshi Hindus with promises of CAA. It halts MGNREGA funds and indulges in such tactics, hoping to win elections in the state," he alleged.
On the other hand, the BJP MLA lauded TMC saying, that the ruling party in the state, armed with 26 different "pro-poor schemes" such as Kanyashree Prakalpa, Gitanjali Housing Scheme, Krishak Bandhu Scheme, Nijo Griha Nijo Bhumi, Rupashree Prakalpa, Shishu Sathi Scheme, and Student Credit Card, quietly works at the grassroots level.
"Now, you decide who will win the elections. I have never seen a culture of self-criticism within the BJP; otherwise, this outcome wouldn't have occurred," he added.
Since the 2021 assembly elections, the TMC has won every by-election, except the Sagardighi bypoll in March 2023, which was won by a Congress candidate who later switched to the TMC.
With this victory, TMC's tally in the 294-member state assembly rose to 216, further consolidating its position. The BJP's tally, on the other hand, dropped to 69, from 77 in 2021.
