BJP leaders making meaningless statements on 'adjustment politics': Minister Ramalinga Reddy
Bengaluru: Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy called the BJP leaders a confused lot making haphazard statements, mocking the recent outburst by BJP MP Pratap Simha and former MLA CT Ravi alleging that there was a compromise between the BJP and the Congress.
The minister, who addressed reporters in the city, said, “The BJP leaders are terribly disappointed by the defeat in the recent Assembly elections. They are also unhappy that their party colleagues have caused their defeat and, as a result, are speaking unthinkingly.”
Referring to MP Pratap Simha's angry words, Reddy said, “I doubt that the MP knows what he is saying, while talking about 'adjustment politics'. It would be advisable for the senior leaders of the BJP to look into the matter.”
He further said that the Central government was not owned by the BJP. “The government is of the people, it is only that the BJP is currently in power. The Congress government in Karnataka need not receive the permission of the BJP government at the Centre for any scheme that we plan or implement.”

No public welfare scheme to be shut if BJP comes to power in Delhi, will end corruption: PM Modi
New Delhi (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday accused the AAP government in Delhi of wasting a decade fighting with the Centre and urged the people of the national capital to give the BJP an opportunity to turn it into a city of the future.
The prime minister also assured that no public welfare scheme would be discontinued if the BJP assumed power but the party's government would weed out the corruption in their implementation.
Addressing a rally in the Rohini area, Modi dubbed the AAP government a "disaster" that had struck Delhi and asserted the BJP would usher in change.
"Only when this 'aapda (disaster)' is gotten rid of in Delhi, the double-engine of development will come in," Modi said.
The prime minister said the Centre had been developing highways in Delhi, expanding the Metro network, starting the Namo Bharat Regional Rapid Transit System, and running big hospitals.
"However, the moment you step out of a Metro station, you can see potholed roads, overflowing sewers. Some areas are such that even auto and cab drivers refuse to ply due to long traffic jams," he said.
"In the past 10 years, Delhi has witnessed a state government that is no less than an 'aapda (disaster)'! Delhiites have realised this. Only one voice is reverberating in Delhi -- 'Aapda nahi sahenge, badal kar rahenge (will not tolerate disaster, will bring change)," Modi said.
