Mithun Rai's victory in Dakshina Kannada, a distant dream: Harikrishna Bantwal
BJP hopes to win by 2 lakh victory margin
Bantwal: While senior Congress leader Janardhan Poojary was unable to win from D.K district, it will not be possible for Mithun Rai to register the victory, who from no angle can come close to Janardhan Poojary, stated Harikrishna Bantwal.
He was speaking to Varthabharathi about the BJP' pre-poll-preparation in Dakshina Kannada Lok Sabha constituency.
D.K district is a constituency where Billawa Community exists in a large number. Congress leader Janardhan Poojary, who has experience in education, politics, and social service; has not been able to defeat BJP. In such circumstances, will people vote for Mithun Rai, who has nothing? Mithun Rai's victory in the district is an unobtainable dream, and Mithun Rai will never become equivalent to Janardhan Poojary. People will not vote Mithun Rai, Harikrishna confidently said.
Victory with 2 lakh margin
As the first round of the campaign was completed, we are beginning the second round in which we will visit every home. We have appointed booth leaders at every booth. At booths, I am starting campaigning at 7 am. Election strategy has been created to win with 2 lakh votes this time. There is no disruption to the BJP's win in the district. DK Congress was never a competitor for BJP in the district. Congress position is negligible here, he opined.
Internal disputes of Congress is our plus point
The election campaigns conducted by the Congress in the previous assembly elections are not seen during the Lok Sabha elections. Also, groupism, internal conflicts in the Congress, are plus points for us.
People will not vote looking at age
In the district where Congress had 7 MLAs, BJP won with only one MLA. Now it is entirely contrasted. The BJP has 7 MLAs, and the Congress has only one MLA, with that we have no barrier to winning here. People of the district will not see the age and cast while casting vote. Even though Nalin Kumar Kateel is 50-year-old, it is not a concern. This time, people have decided to vote for Narendra Modi.
Congress is allergic to Saffron shawl
Earlier, the Congress was allergic to saffron. Now it is putting saffron shawl to play Hindutva drama. Why this drama sir? If they come with saffron shawl during campaigning, people are not fools to vote. Mithun Rai has not come from Kashmir or Delhi. People know about him.
Congress plays dynasty, caste politics
Using secular ideology, Congress is playing caste and dynasty politics. Congress, JDS are dynasty political parties. If there are national parties in the country, it is the BJP and the Communist party. Now, people have come to the point of rejecting caste and dynasty politics. Genealogy is still unpredictable. This cannot be one country. This time, people will be giving a big blow to dynasty and politics through elections.
Congress used Muslims as a vote bank
In the district, 30% of the Muslims are supporting BJP and promised to vote us. Among them, the number of Muslim women is more. Congress has used Muslims as a vote bank, but it is not allowing the community to grow politically. The Lok Sabha election is a witness for that. Congress has only used Muslims as a vote bank. Congress has split the Hindu-Muslims to get political mileage. "Educated Muslims are completely with BJP." The BJP has never used Muslims as a vote bank. Narendra Modi is not anti-Muslim. Then it was Mahatma Gandhi, and today it is Narendra Modi. Both are Gujaratis.
Narendra Modi has not made a single statement against Muslims. He has worked hard for the prosperity of Muslims. Modi intends to seek an India of Hindu, Muslim, and Christian. This time the Congress's vote will come to the BJP and not BJP vote will go to the Congress. This is a hundred percent true. Wait for election results.
In 2019, by becoming Prime Minister once again, PM Narendra Modi will fulfill Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam's wish of India transforming as a universal leader in 2020.

James Anderson to retire after Lord's Test against West Indies
London, May 11: Legendary pacer James Anderson on Saturday announced that the first Test against the West Indies this summer will be his final appearance for England, bringing down the curtains on an illustrious career spanning over 20 years.
Regarded as one of the greatest bowlers of all times, the 41-year-old is England's leading wicket-takers and is one of only three bowlers to take over 700 Test scalps.
"Hi everyone. Just a note to say that the first Test of the summer at Lord's will be my last Test," Anderson wrote on his Instagram.
"It's been an incredible 20 years representing my country, playing the game I've loved since I was a kid. I'm going to miss walking out for England so much.
"But I know the time is right to step aside and let others realise their dreams just like I got to, because there is no greater feeling," he added.
Anderson's announcement comes after England red-ball coach Brendon McCullum conveyed to the seamer that they are looking at the future, with an eye on the Ashes 2025-26 in Australia.
Anderson made his Test debut back in 2003 and has since claimed a remarkable 700 wickets in 187 Test matches. He currently ranks third on the all-time list of Test wicket-takers, trailing behind spinners Muttiah Muralitharan of Sri Lanka and Australia's Shane Warne.
However, whether Anderson will continue playing for his county side Lancashire remains unclear.
"I couldn't have done it without the love and support of Daniella, Lola, Ruby and my parents. A huge thank you to them. Also, thank you to the players and coaches who have made this the best job in the world."
"Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the years, it's always meant a lot, even if my face often doesn't show it. See you at the Test, Go well Jimmy x," Anderson wrote.
England are set to play a three-Test series against the West Indies, starting with the opener at Lord's on July 10.
