Do not want Jungleraj-like governance in Karnataka: Jignesh Mevani
Bengaluru, May 10: Gujarat MLA Jignesh Mevani said that the state of Karnataka does not want Prime Minister Narendra Modi and chief minister Adityanath's ideal governance here.
Addressing a press conference organised by the Karnataka Forum to save the Constitution, Mevani said that law and order in Uttar Pradesh had wholly been disturbed, following which a jungle-raj is created. Karnataka does not want such governance here, he said.
Mr. Mevani said "while, more than 2,000 encounters took place after Yogi Adithyanath became the chief minister of UP, many innocents have been killed in that. Dalits, Muslims, and people belonging to backward classes are being targeted. But, Karnataka is Basavanna's land. Here equality exists. Do not display your development model here.
Questions Modi: It has been four years since Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power in the country, but he has not fulfilled any promise he made to people. Mevani, who had Challenged Mr. Modi to tell his developmental works for 15 minutes in his speeches, has stated that his (Modi's) government is very active in doing Love Jihad, Ghar Wapsi, and Communal politics.
"In the past four years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made a false promise of developing all the fields. But; Gujarat, which was ruled by him for past 20 years, has left far behind in the Development Index. By telling BJP and Narendra Modi has done developments, they are misleading people," the Gujarat MLA alleged.
"when I am inviting him for an open discussion on Gujarat's development, he is not at all responding. Instead, he is chanting development's mantra in election speeches. He has utterly failed in creating jobs. People should not vote for BJP by going with their words, Mr. Mevani appealed.
Speaking at the press meet, doctor Kafeel Khan of BRD hospital Gorakhpur in Gujarat, said "Government had to pay nearly Rs. 60 lakh to an oxygen supplying company. The company had stopped the oxygen supply due to non-payment. This had resulted in the death of 60 infants.
"But, the health ministry never came forward to conduct an inquiry of officials of the health department. Rather, they sent me to jail. But the high court has granted me bail. They had threatened me that they would not allow me to come out for two years," Mr. Khan alleged.
Former minister BT Lalitha Nayak, Nadeem Khan, Karnataka Janashakthi's Gowri and others were present.
