We will close down terror factories: Ramalinga Reddy
Bengaluru: " If we come back to power, we will ban organisations like Sangh Parivar, SDPI, PFI who are instigating communal riots in state," said home minister Ramalinga Reddy on Monday.
He was speaking at the media interaction held at the Bengaluru Press club. He blamed the BJP for promoting hatred in the state. He said, " BJP is trying to set fire in the state. There have been 30 riots in the state in the last 5 years. Out of these, 28 riots were witnessed in Dakshina Kannada District and 2 in Udupi".
" We have ensured that BJP is not successful in its plan to instigate riots here. Even BJP national president Amit Shah had provoked that they will set the state on fire. But we have stopped them" Reddy claimed.
" Prime Minister Narendra Modi has brought disrepute to his position by saying that it is easy to murder someone in Bengaluru. He should first go through the crime statistics of the state before making any statement" Reddy urged.

"The IndiGo fiasco is the direct result of the govt's monopoly model. And as always, it is ordinary Indians who are paying the price," he said.
Shivakumar said that the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru, which is India's 3rd busiest airport with nearly 40 million travellers a year, is in complete chaos.
"This is hurting families, businesses and our national reputation. I urge the Union Government to act immediately and bring this situation under control. Our people deserve better," he added.
Domestic carrier IndiGo cancelled over 800 flights on Saturday, the fifth day of the ongoing crisis, even as the government imposed a cap on airfares and directed the airline to process all refunds by Sunday evening.
