RSS statement ‘No Hindutva without Muslims’ is bogus: PV Mohan
Mangaluru: KPCC general secretary PV Mohan has stated that RSS Chief’s remark that there is no Hindutva without Muslims is just a bogus statement.
Addressing a press meet at D.K district Congress Bhavan on Saturday, he said, "RSS was eyeing on Muslim votes and has issued such a statement to garner more votes for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. There can be peace and harmony in the nation only if the RSS is banned.
"The BJP is a sinking ship. Anyhow this has to be brought ashore. Therefore the RSS is struggling. The RSS, which does not talk about issues like Cauvery and Mahadayi, is helping BJP through raking up communal sentiments," Mohan alleged.
“The Narendra Modi-led central government is more dangerous than the erstwhile British rule. It has implemented GST, note ban which were not discussed before polls. At the same time, it has failed to fulfill its poll promises on black money and to create employment,” he alleged.
“The Congress will be holding a Lok Sampark Abhiyan across the nation from October 2 to November 19. A 10-member team will be formed in 56 booths in the district. This team would serve as a service center,” he added.
The party's leaders Abdul Saleem, Neeraj Paul, Honnaya, Sumit, Nazir Bajal and others were present.

Karnataka Congress MLA Gaviyappa wants CM to stop some poll guarantees, draws DK Shivakumar's ire
Bengaluru/Vijayanagara, Nov 26: Karnataka Congress MLA H R Gaviyappa on Tuesday urged Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to drop some poll guarantees, citing lack of funds, which drew sharp response from Deputy CM D K Shivakumar.
The ruling party MLA from Vijayanagara suggested that the election guarantees have made it difficult to provide houses to the poor in the state.
“Because of guarantee schemes, there is difficulty in providing houses to poor. We are also asking the Chief Minister to drop two or three schemes, which are not needed. Let’s see what the Chief Minister says,” Gaviyappa said in a public meeting in Vijayanagara.
He, however, maintained that he would stand by the decision taken by the Chief Minister.

According to the Congress MLA, the CM raised Rs 40,000 crore this year keeping development in mind.
The legislator's statement irked Deputy Chief Minister Shivakumar.
“This is Congress party. I am going to issue him a showcause notice. He can’t do that. No question of closing any guarantee. We have committed to the people of Karnataka. No one can raise their voice (against the guarantees),” the Deputy CM, who is also the Congress state president told media in Bengaluru.
He said a Congress MLA cannot speak against the guarantees.
Those who are ineligible will not get the benefit, Shivakumar said adding the same policy has been adopted in the recent revision of BPL cards.
The Karnataka government has decided to remove the government employees and income tax payees from the list of BPL card holders as per the Central government norms.
