India is going through second freedom movement currently: B K Hariprasad
Bengaluru: Bengaluru South’s Constituency’s Congress candidate B K Hariprasad on Sunday said that he was not entitled to respond to other’s criticism and that his fight is to save constitution and against reservations.
Speaking at a media conference organized by the Bangalore Press and Reporters' Association on Sunday, he said that the country was going into its second freedom movement.
“BJP candidate who will contest against me has not criticized me nor has he made any personal attack on me. Neither have I done so” he said.
“My fight is to save constitution, save democracy and constitutional institution. BJP candidate from Uttara Pradesh says that if Modi wins this election, there will be no election in this country again. This clearly puts democracy in danger. They want to bring dictatorship in the country and we need to fight against this”.
“I was asked to contest from Bengaluru south to contest against PM Modi as it was being said Modi will be contesting from this constituency. But later Modi did not contest from here. I was to contest from Khammam, I had been to file my nominations from there. But Congress high command called me back from there and asked me to contest against Modi here”
“Saying that BJP has eradicated terrorism from the country will be stupidity. If terrorism has eradicated under BJP then why attacks like Pathankot Air base, Uri Attack and latest Pulwama attack wouldn’t have happened” asked who was responsible for these attacks former minister blamed Modi and said “Modi goes to Pakistan upon the invitation of its PM and eat Biryani there, he invites Pakistan’s PM for his swearing-in ceremony. Nobody knows which class he belongs to”.
Speaking about the developmental plans he will bring in if he wins the election, Hariprasad said “My dream is to bring back the old glory of this city. I will construct four parks in four corners of the constituency excluding Cubbon Park and Lal Bagh. We are already working in this regard. Another major problem in the city is that of drinking water, we have plans of constructing a dam at Mekedatu to resolve this issue of drinking water. We will try and get help from Central government for this project”.
Challenging PM Modi to face media through a press conference on his achievements Hariprasad added “PM Modi is scared to come infront of media and addressing a press conference because he has failed all his promises he made before previous election. I challenge him to address media for 15 minutes in a press conference on his achievement in last five years. For 15 minutes he will blame Nehru family, for next 15 minutes he will blame Congress government and for another 15 minutes he will speak about soldiers, army and other emotional topics”.
Speaking of Congress JD(S) coalition he said “I have good relationship with JD(S) supremo HD Devegowda. I also got his blessings. Looking at the condition of this constituency, people have assured me of victory here and our party’s base is also quite strong in the constituency so I am confident of winning from here”.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
