DK BJP condemns JDS workers' attack on BJP MLA Preetam Gowda
Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada District BJP on Thursday staged protest outside Deputy Commissioner’s office and condemned the attack on the party’s Hassan MLA Pradeep J Gowda by JDS workers.
Local party leaders, members and workers gathered outside Dakshina Kannada DC office and protested while also shouting slogans against CM HD Kumaraswamy and former Prime Minister HD Devegowda, alleging that the father son duo was the perpetrator of the attack.
“Kumaraswamy, claims that he did not had any interference in the whole episode, but he himself along with his father and brother Revanna perpetrated the whole attack. As Preetam won from a constituency which was dominated by this Gowda family, out of jealousy this attack was done” Ravi Shankar Mijar, Dakshina Kannada’s Vice President said during the protest.
Sanjay Prabhu, Dakshina Kannada Treasurer of BJP, termed the Kumaraswamy led government as the ‘Goondagiri government’. He said “Kumaraswamy ordered this rioting by his party workers. He wants everyone from his family to either be a MLA or an MP, now that his son and Revanna’s son are in-line they are looking for a constituency from where they can field them, and hence they have targeted Hassan, and to instill fear in our MLAs mind this attack was done”.
“This is nothing new, the father and sons have done, they have a factual history of doing such things in the past, so we are not really surprised, but then again, we are not going to back away, we will fight them and defeat them”.
“If he says he had no knowledge about the incident or he hadn’t ordered it, then he should immediately resign from his post, accepting the moral responsibility for the actions of his party workers” Sanjay said.
He further added “If the state has to progress, then this government has to go, and for the betterment of this state, this government will be toppling soon”.
Ex-MLC Monappa Gonda, while addressing the protest, expressed the district BJP’s solidarity with Preetam Gowda and the party worker Rahul who sustained injuries during the JDS workers’ attack on the MLA home, and has been hospitalized since.
“The police are hand-in-glove with the CM and his family, no action can be taken against the party workers, no case will be registered and no arrests will be made in this regard, we know this. Preetam’s family was inside the house, the workers posed threat to their life, yet nobody cares” he said.
About the incident:
