BJP doesn't have interest to solve Ayodhya issue: CM Ibrahim
Hubballi, November 2: Senior Congress leader and MLC CM Ibrahim said that the ruling BJP has no will power to solve Ayodhya issue.
Speaking to reporters here on Friday, he said that the BJP leaders have been asking votes in the name of Ram Mandir. Just constructing temples and masjids was not a religion, he said.
"We don't have any objections to construct Ram Mandir. Cows are being worshipped in Uttar Pradesh where BJP is ruling. What about in Goa where BJP is ruling? The present political situation is stopped to the low level. After Narendra Modi led government came to power, the export of beef was increased considerably. Many BJP leaders owned slaughter companies", he alleged.
The people in the country would give befitting reply to the BJP in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Congress-JDS coalition candidates would win in the by-election to the three Lok Sabha and two Assembly constituencies in the state, he exuded confidence.
In Karnataka, the coalition would win all the 28 Lok Sabha seats in the next election. There was no BJP in Ramanagara constituency. Instead of Ram Mandir, Narendra Modi has been thinking more about the wives of Muslims, he ridiculed.

Assam to lift all cases against Koch Rajbongshis in Foreigners' Tribunals: CM Himanta Biswa Sarma
Guwahati, Apr 4 (PTI): The Assam cabinet has decided to lift all cases pending against people from the Koch Rajbongshi community in the Foreigners' Tribunals, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Friday.
They will also no longer carry the tag of 'D' or doubtful voters, he said.
''There are 28,000 cases pending in different Foreigners' Tribunals in the state against people of the community. The cabinet has taken a historic decision of lifting the cases with immediate effect,'' Sarma said at a press conference here after the cabinet meeting.
The government believes that the Koch Rajbongshis are an indigenous community of the state and they are an inextricable part of ''our social and cultural fabric'', he asserted.
The people of this community are poor and have suffered a lot over the years, he said.
''They will no longer carry the tag of foreigners or ‘D’ voters,'' the CM said.
Foreigners Tribunals are quasi-judicial bodies, particularly in Assam, established to determine if a person residing in India is a "foreigner" as defined by the Foreigners Act of 1946, based on the Foreigners (Tribunals) Order of 1964.
These tribunals are designed to address matters related to citizenship and the presence of “foreigners” in India, specifically focusing on cases where someone is suspected of being an illegal immigrant.
There are 100 Foreigners’ Tribunals across Assam.
The Koch Rajbongshis have a sizeable presence in Assam, West Bengal, Meghalaya, and parts of Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan, and they demand Scheduled Tribe status.
