I won’t ask votes if I fail to give jobs: HDK
Vijayapura, May 4: If he failed to give job opportunities to every eligible youth after forming JDS government in the state, he would never ask people to his party again, said JDS state president HD Kumaraswamy.
Addressing the Vikasa Parva rally at Chadachana in the district on Friday, Kumaraswamy, who appealed the people to vote his party for alleviating unemployment problem, said that Siddaramaiah-led Congress government has failed to fill two and half lakh posts in the state. The Congress leaders have been trying to tarnish the image of the JDS in order to attract the votes of minorities. But JDS does not believe in castes. He would serve the people of the state if given an opportunity, he said.
JDS is neither in favour of Congress nor BJP. It is in favour of the people. A false case was booked against party candidate Devanand. The police have to face the music after JDS coming to power, he warned.
Farmers should not commit suicide fearing of loans recovery, because he was with them. “I won’t become the chief minister of the third floor Vidhana Soudha. I would come to your huts. Give me six months time after giving me the power. I would give 24 hours power supply to entire state, he said.
There is no word of 50:50. This time, the JDS will win the cup. Siddaramaiah is also communal due to which he has contested from Badami. Did Prime Minister Narendra Modi come to Karnataka just to give an opinion on JDS instead of speaking on the problems of the state. What is the contribution of Yogi Adityanath, Amith Shah to the state? Modi cannot fool the people of the state just by referring the noted personalities of the state, he said.

Sharad Pawar praised RSS after seeing how it burst fake narrative balloon of LS polls: Fadnavis
Nagpur, Jan 10: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday said NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar praised the RSS after realising how the outfit managed to overcome the fake narrative spread by the opposition in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
The opposition had claimed BJP wanted to win 400 seats to change the Constitution and end reservations, a narrative which BJP leaders later claimed hit the party hard.
On Pawar praising the RSS recently, the CM said the MVA was successful in creating a fake narrative during the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
"When assembly polls were approaching, many people from diverse fields who are inspired by the RSS played their role and burst the balloon of this fake narrative. Sharad Pawar saheb is very intelligent. He would have certainly studied this aspect. He realised that this (RSS) is not a regular political power but a nationalist power. In any competition it is good to praise others," he added.
That is why Pawar may have praised the RSS, Fadnavis said.
Speaking at an interaction with senior editor Vivek Ghalsasi at Late Vilasji Fadnis Jivhala programme here, Fadnavis also said he had asked for organisational work when Eknath Shinde was made chief minister in June 2022, but senior leaders asked him to join the government.
He also said Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked him not to behave like an extra-constitutional authority in the government.
He said the decision to become deputy chief minister on the command of the party leadership earned him a lot of praise from the cadre.
After the massive mandate the ruling alliance received in the 2024 assembly polls, Fadnavis said people and party workers would not have been happy if the CM was not from the BJP.
Shinde himself agreed within minutes that the CM must be from the BJP, which itself got 132 seats and was close to a majority of its own in the 288-member assembly, he added.
On Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray meeting him during the winter sessions of the legislature in Nagpur, Fadnavis said he had announced he would not indulge in politics of revenge after becoming CM and all leaders responded positively to it.
On chances of the NCP (SP) and NCP coming closer or reuniting, Fadnavis said, "If you see the developments that took place from 2019 to 2024, I realised never say never and anything can happen. Uddhav Thackeray goes to some other party and Ajit Pawar comes to us. In politics anything can happen though I am not saying this should happen."
He praised BJP leader Arun Gujarati from whom he learnt patience, which he claimed was an important quality in politics along with the ability to take criticism.
In a lighter vein, he said, "I only get angry when I am hungry. If you see me angry then give me something to eat and my anger will go away."
