Narendra Modi led central government's performance is not as expected: Pejawar Shree
* Opposition to Modi, Shah’s intention of Congress mukt
Udupi: Narendra Modi led central government’s performance is not as expected, said Sri Vishvesha Tirtharu of the Pejawara Mutt.
Addressing a press conference here at Pejawara Mutt in Udupi, he said, "There are some achievements from the central government. But this government has not been able to achieve the desired level."
“The Modi government has not fulfilled their promises. They had said that they would bring black money but did not bring, Ganga was not cleansed. But they have brought some control over the country's economic sector,” Swamiji said.
► Ram Mandir is not a priority
When media asked about the completion of the Ram Mandir’s construction, he replied “it is not the country's priority. The conservation of farmers, the economic condition of the country is an urgent need. Construction of the Ram Mandir comes later; besides, this matter is still in court," said Pejawar Shree.
► Opposition to Congress Free
I oppose Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP President Amit Shah's intention of making the country free from Congress. There has to be strong opposition parties for a healthy democracy,” Sri Vishvesha Theertha Swamiji opined.
► Today's democracy is distorted
Pejawarashree expressed concern that today's democracy is distorted by the political parties' legislators operation resort politics.
"I do not have a good opinion about any of these parties. They fought between each other and abused at each other before the elections, then joined hands for power. All of this is happening like a drama.
Looking at all this, there is an indication that I am the most ideal. That is the government of all religions. In some places, it has been practical. But I am skeptical about whether it is possible in India today, "said Pejawar Shree.
“Kumaraswamy is experienced. I expect good governance from him. In fact, I expect the best out of all governments. But today's politics is not clean, and democracy is distorted,” the Swamiji added.
► Unity of opposition parties
When asked about the BJP government losing its popularity, he said “today the BJP's strength is uniting the opposition parties. How all the opposition parties were united when Congress was strong; in the same way, now parties including Congress are uniting against BJP today. The impact can be seen in the next elections," he said.
It all depends upon how the Narendra Modi Government fulfills its promises and how it gives governance.
► Thinking of the Iftar party
This time also the idea of organising an Iftar party by the Pajawara mutt is taking place and talks are going on with Muslims. But the final decision is not yet taken. We would organise it if the Muslim leaders agree, will not insist.
But this time they are not showing that enthusiasm. If we do, we will organize it at the Pejawara mutt’s Govinda Kalyanamantapa.
I do not listen to anyone. We aim to bring harmony in both Hindu and Muslim communities. I will condemn when Hindus face injustice.
“Hindus should get all the benefits available to minorities. It was a big controversy when I had asked to amend the Constitution for this if necessary. I did not say that I would change the constitution. I wanted there was no discrimination against anyone,” the seer said.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases; Total tally now 52
ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
