Anarchy is conspired to avoid Modi to become PM again: MLA CT Ravi
Mangaluru, June 4: Chikmagaluru MLA CT Ravi alleged that conspiracy being hatched out in the international level to avoid Narendra Modi to become the Prime Minister of the country once again.
Speaking to reporters at the party office here on Monday, Ravi said that some forces have conspired to create anarchy in the name of farmers of the country. Political parties like Congress, JDS, NCP, TMC, TDP and others have come together to conspire against Modi. Neighbouring countries Pakistan and China also have the fear of Modi. At the same time, these political parties have come together to defeat Modi and those thoughts are not coincidence. But the people would certainly stand with the BJP, he said.
Before the Gujarat elections, movements, campaigns on the basis of castes, dalits, backward classes and Patel communities were conducted. After the election, those campaigns were stopped. Interestingly, those campaigns have been shifted to Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. Both Congress and Communist party leaders have been working with criminal mind. They have been hatching out the conspiracy in the name of farmers. The same cunning minds have been raising hue and cry that democracy and the society are at cross roads and creating fear among people. These people would continue their activities and shift their tents across the country till the next election. But they should not be given place for pitching tents, he said.
It is unfortunate that political parties have been inducing the voters through money, muscle power and non-veg food even for the Teachers and Graduates Constituency elections. Voters should take it seriously and vote, he said.
BJP leaders Ravishankar Mijaru, Captain Brijesh Chouta, Kishore Rai, Nithin Kumar, Bhaskar Chandra Shetty, Jitendra Kotari, Sanjay Prabhu, Karunakar, Ravichandra and others were present at the press conference.

At least 19 killed as methane leak causes explosion at eastern Iran coal mine, state TV reports
Tehran (AP/PTI): A methane leak sparked an explosion at a coal mine in eastern Iran, killing at least 19 people and injuring another 17, Iranian state television reported Sunday.
The report said the deaths happened at a coal mine in Tabas, some 540 kilometers (335 miles) southeast of the capital, Tehran.
Authorities were sending emergency personnel to the area after the blast late Saturday, it said. Around 70 people had been working there at the time of the blast.
Oil-producing Iran is also rich in a variety of minerals. Iran annually consumes some 3.5 million tons of coal but only extracts about 1.8 million tons from its mines per year. The rest is imported, often consumed in the country's steel mills.
This is not the first disaster to strike Iran's mining industry. In 2013, 11 workers were killed in two separate mining incidents. In 2009, 20 workers were killed in several incidents. In 2017, a coal mine explosion killed at least 42 people.
Lax safety standards and inadequate emergency services in mining areas are often blamed for the fatalities.
