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.

Karwar: Uttara Kannada police have cracked a murder case in which a Belagavi youth was killed and his body burnt inside a car to make it appear like a road accident.
Addressing a press meet in the city, Superintendent of Police Deepan M.N. said three accused from Old Hubballi have been arrested in connection with the case. The crime was a pre-planned act driven by personal enmity, he said.
The case came to light on April 8 morning when a car (KA-04/MJ-8996) was found completely burnt in a roadside ditch near Talekumbri bus stand in Yellapur. Only charred human remains were found inside the vehicle. Initially, it was suspected to be an accident caused by overspeeding, and a case was registered at Yellapur police station based on a complaint filed by the deceased’s father, Jagannath Dhapale.
However, the father later expressed suspicion that his son’s death was not accidental, prompting a detailed investigation.
Taking the matter seriously, two special teams were formed under the leadership of Yellapur Inspector Ramesh Hanapur. On analysing technical evidence and CCTV footage, police found that it was a planned murder.
The accused have been identified as Abdul Raheem Basheer Ahmed Mujawar (32), Maulasab Bavahan Wada (36) and Dadapeer alias Aftab Mehboob Saab Balasangi (22), all chicken traders from Old Hubballi.
Police have seized the car used in the crime along with two scooters. The accused have been remanded to judicial custody.
Investigations revealed that the accused killed Nitesh Dhapale due to personal enmity and later set the car on fire along with the body to project it as an accident.
SP Deepan M.N. appreciated the efforts of Inspector Ramesh Hanapur, PSIs Rajashekhar Vandali and Siddappa Gudi, and the entire team for solving the complex case.
