‘Gouri Day' used for PM's criticism: Salochana Bhatt
Mangaluru: The BJP's state vice president Sulochana GK Bhat accused that the ‘Gauri Day' program is used to criticize Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The event was organized to celebrate the 56th birth anniversary of Gaurilakesh in Bengaluru recently.
Addressing media persons at BJP office recently, Bhat said, let the Gauri Day program be dedicated to recalling her life achievements. "Everybody is criticizing country's prime minister, even elderly person HS Doraswami was also used for that. Whereas, no protest was held against the state government's failure in arresting Gauri's murderers. BJP condemns this move," She said.
"In a program organized for communal harmony in Mangalore recently, Chief Minister's media adviser Dinesh Amin Mattu has disturbed the program by giving political statements. Kudroli temple is not a personal property of Dinesh Amin Mathu" Bhat said.
"In the name of secularism, religious sentiments are being used to get political mileage in the upcoming assembly elections; People understand this. The way politics was done in Gujarat by using Jignesh Mewani and Alpesh Thakur, in that same manner actor Prakash Rai is being used in Karnataka. But here people will teach them a lesson".
BJP leaders Vikas Puttur, Sanjay Prabhu, Satish Prabhu and Jitendra Kothari were present at the press conference.
