Modi-Shah are liars, says Ram Jethmalani
Bengaluru, May 7: Former union minister and Supreme Court advocate Ram Jethmalani said that both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amith Shah have cheated the people of the country by giving false promises.
Speaking at the Meet the Press at the Press Club here on Monday, Jethmalani said that people should teach both of them a befitting reply in this assembly election. In the last Lok Sabha election, the BJP, in its manifesto, had promised of bringing back the black money stashed in foreign countries and credit Rs 15 lakh to every individual’s account. But how much black money did not bring, he asked.
“I have been fighting against black money. But Narendra Modi who met me in 2009, has said that he would support his cause and I have believed him. Amith Shah who came to my home promised me of extending his support. Later, I came to know that as why Shah had come to my home. He had to come out of a murder case charged against him. For this reason, he was at my home at that time”, he said.
After BJP-led NDA got majority in the 2014 Lok Sabha election, they have asked him of giving up the fight against black money. But he has made a mistake believing the BJP then. Even then, he has not given up his fight. He would continue his fight against black money in the Supreme Court. The case would come in front of the SC on July 15. Germany and Switzerland are ready to disclose the list of black money holders. But the government has not taken a right decision, he alleged.
“I have asked 15 questions to BJP, PM Modi and Amith Shah regarding black money. But they have never replied to me. They are cheaters. So, people should teach them a lesson through this Assembly election. But I would not say on supporting the Congress. BJP should not be voted to power at any cost”, the senior advocate said.
BJP will bite the dust in 2019
For the last four years, both Modi and Shah have been giving false promises to the people. BJP is unfit to be a ruling party and Congress to be opposition party. Modi will definitely bite the dust in the 2019 Lok Sabha election. The BJP has around 37 per cent criminals, he said.

Had a very good conversation with friend Modi: Trump
Washington (PTI): US President Donald Trump on Friday said he had a "very good conversation" with his "friend" Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He was referring to the talks the two leaders had on Tuesday.
"I had a very good talk with him, and he's a friend of mine from India, and he's doing great. We had a very good conversation," Trump told reporters here as he headed to Las Vegas to address a roundtable on tax cuts.
Trump had called Modi on Tuesday to discuss the bilateral relationship and share perspectives on the situation in West Asia, where the US and Israel have launched a war on Iran.
The US and Iran declared a two-week ceasefire on April 7. They engaged in peace talks with Washington, insisting that Tehran give up its pursuit of nuclear weapons and uranium enrichment.
The war with Iran has sent gas prices soaring as Tehran blocked the sea lanes in the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow gateway for a fifth of global oil supplies.
During the Trump-Modi phone call on Tuesday, the two leaders stressed the importance of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open and secure.
According to the US Ambassador to India Sergei Gor, the 40-minute conversation ended with Trump telling Modi, "we all love you".
Tuesday's phone call was the second between the two leaders since the US-Israel war with Iran began on February 28.
