MLA Jignesh Mevani challenges Modi to come to debate over his four years administration
Mysuru, May 2: Gujarat MLA Jignesh Mevani challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to come for a debate with him for four minutes about his achievements of four years in office.
Mevani who was travelling across the state as part of the campaign being conducted by the Karnataka State Level Form for Save Constitution, told reporters here on Wednesday that people should know the contribution of Narendra Modi after he became the Prime Minister. The country has been facing lot of problems like unemployment, farmers suicide, atrocity on dalits, sexual harassment on women and children. So, let Modi discuss about all these issue for just four minutes with him, he challenged.
Before asking AICC president Rahul Gandhi to speak about fifteen minutes about Karnataka, Modi should speak about his four years achievements before the people. It is not enough to have 56 inch chest. He should have the mentality of giving good governance. Modi speaks about Ambedkar, but in his heart, he is still a staunch follower of Manu Smriti. Because of this reason, he does not have morality to bow before the statue of Ambedkar. The agenda of both RSS and BJP is same, he said.
Those who speak about Gujarat Model should be ashamed of themselves because the civic workers and peons working in Gujarat Assembly and Secretariat were suffering due to lack of shelter and they were not being given equal pay. Is that the Gujarat Model, he asked.
The communal Modi government has done a lot of damage to the Constitution. Youth of the country should be aware about the problems being faced by the country. The remedy for this is to keep BJP and other communal forces away from the power, he said.
Modi who had promised of giving jobs to the youth has forgotten his words. Farmers suicide incidents were unabated in the country. It has withdrawn various subsidies. Small and cottage industries were disappearing from the society and lakhs of employment opportunities in the Railways are being reduced, he said.
As to why Narendra Modi who gives interviews to London media is keeping himself away from Indian media? Let Modi speak for four minutes about farmers suicide, atrocity, unemployment and other problems. But it seems he does not care about this. They are just thinking about changing the Constitution. He would not say that Congress government led by Siddaramaiah did a big achievement. But compared to Gujarat, Siddaramaiah is better, he said.
He would not ask the dalits of the state to vote for any particular party. But he would say that keep the communal forces from power. Karnataka election is between the communal forces and Indians. Communalism would not last longer. It would end from Karnataka itself. 2019 Lok Sabha election would also become the election between communal forces and Indians, he said.
He smelt the rat in the Supreme Court verdict on SC/ST issue. He sees the handiwork of BJP government in that verdict. Harassment and atrocity incidents are happening against dalits for every 15 minutes. The Attorney General who should have argued in favour of SC/ST issue sent his juniors. As they have completely failed to argue before the Supreme Court, they have got this verdict, he said.

Kane scores hat trick and Bayern extends Bundesliga lead to 11 points
Berlin (AP): Harry Kane was substituted in at the hour mark and still had enough time to score a hat trick on Saturday.
The England captain took his goal tally for Bayern Munich this season to 28 and the defending champions extended their lead to 11 points after thrashing Stuttgart 5-0 on the road.
Second-placed Leipzig later hosted Eintracht Frankfurt.
With Kane on the bench, Konrad Laimer took on the scoring duties and produced a superb finish. The Austria midfielder collected a long ball and combined with Michael Olise before slotting home from close range with a subtle backheel past goalkeeper Alexander Nübel in the 11th minute.
Kane made it 2-0 with a low shot into the bottom corner and Josip Stanišic added his name to the scoresheet. Kane added further luster to the win from the penalty spot after Stuttgart was reduced to 10 men for Lorenz Assignon using his arm to clear a ball in the 81st.
Kane completed the rout with a flick from an Olise cross with two minutes left. He has found the net five more times with England this season, taking his total to 33 goals for club and country.
Stuttgart had chances before halftime but lacked a cutting edge. Midfielder Nikolas Nartey thought he equalized only for his goal to be ruled out for offside after a VAR check.
Bayern Munich is unbeaten in 16 league and cup games against German opposition this season.
