All BJP leaders including its state president are on ‘Bail gadi’: Ramanath Rai
Mangaluru, July 17: Prime Minister Narendra Modi had termed the Congress as ‘bail gaddi’ as several of its leaders were out on bail. In Karnataka, all BJP leaders including its state president were on bail. Let the Prime Minister tell what he will do with his leaders, Congress former minister B Ramanath Rai challenged.
Speaking to reporters at the party office here on Tuesday, he made a scathing attack on the BJP governance at the centre. The Narendra Modi led NDA government has been making gimmicks when the elections were approached. But it has failed on all fronts in the country, he alleged.
In the name of Jan Dhan account, the public money was credited into the banks. But the people were not benefitted. The prices of petroleum products were being increased everyday due to which, the once closed Reliance company was opened now. The domestic gas was being sold at Rs 400 during UPA tenure and now, the price was increased to Rs 800. For checking black money, the central government had introduced demonetisation. The BJP leaders had promised of crediting Rs 15 lakh to each account of the countrymen after bringing back the black money stashed outside India. During UPA tenure, the black money percentage was 44 and now, it has increased to 88 per cent. Now, the people would get Rs 30 lakh in their accounts, he ridiculed.
Then UPA government had waived off the farm loans of farmers across the country. But the NDA government was silent on the issue. But it had waived off more than Rs 2.5 lakh crore of industrialists. Bharatiya Janata Party had become a Bharatiya Joot Party, he alleged.
During Nirbhaya rape and murder, a situation was created in the country as if it was done by the Congress. But in Uttar Pradesh where the BJP is ruling, such incidents have been repeating now. Earlier, Narendra Modi had spoken about border issue. But after becoming the PM, he had met Pakistan Prime Minister. The central government was more obsessed with publicity and doing nothing good to the people, the former minister said.
The Congress had never said that it would not require the votes of Hindus or Muslims. It was a part of false propaganda, he added.
District Congress president and MLC Harish Kumar, former minister Abhayachandra Jain, former MLA JR Lobo, leaders Ibrahim Kodijal, Muhammad Hanif and others were present.

ISRO's analogue space mission kicks off at Leh
Bengaluru, Nov 1: ISRO on Friday said its analogue space mission has taken off at Leh in Ladakh, where it will simulate life in an interplanetary habitat as India prepares to send a human to the moon.
The initiative is a collaborative effort of the Human Spaceflight Centre, ISRO, AAKA Space Studio, University of Ladakh, IIT Bombay, and supported by Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council.
The month-long mission, kicked off mid-October, comes in the wake of India's plans to set up lunar habitats, which could provide a base to launch inter-planetary missions.
The geographical features of Ladakh are considered to closely resemble Martian and lunar landscapes and are an ideal training ground for scientific missions aimed at exploring planets "India's first analog space mission kicks off in Leh...this mission will simulate life in an interplanetary habitat to tackle the challenges of a base station beyond Earth," ISRO said in a post on X.
The team of AAKA Space Studio is testing environment suits and conducting geological studies in Leh's low-oxygen environment, simulating space-like conditions, studies that could be crucial for future space missions.
The team is also studying how the human body adapts to the harsh weather conditions in Ladakh that could be useful in understanding how astronauts could get used to space like conditions.
