Bijapur 25 Oct: At the time when the Opposition parties are blaming the Modi government for the price rise in the country, BJP National General Secretary, CT Ravi has said that if someone has to be blamed for the price rise then it should be China which spread COVID pandemic across the world.
“Blame China and COVID for the price rise, not Modi government,” he said at the press conference in Sindgi town on Monday.
Ravi, who had come to campaign for the party candidate, Ramesh Bhusnur, claimed that the prices were under control in the country before the nation was hit by the COVID pandemic.
It is not just India, but the entire world is suffering because of the COVID pandemic and prices have risen across the globe, he said and hoped that the situation will not remain the same for long.
He claimed that in order to give relief to the farmers from rising prices of fuel, the Modi government increased the subsidy to Rs. 1700 on fertilizers on each bag.
Accusing the Congress of spreading canards, Ravi said that the party which is master in lying has nothing else to say but to keep blaming the BJP.
“It is the same Congress which had called COVID vaccine fake, but the very Congress leaders stood in the queue to take the vaccine”, he said.
Ravi said that Congress is making allegations against the BJP as the party is frustrated after losing a series of elections in the country.
Describing Congress as the party that stood for the terrorists, he said that there was a time when the party was protecting the terrorists by feeding them Biryani.
“The Congress leaders were shedding tears for the death of any terrorist. But the Modi government is tough against terrorists. Today, we will kill four terrorists if they kill our one soldier”, Ravi said.
Refuting the allegations that corporate giants such as Ambani and Adani have become richer only during the Modi government, Ravi said that these people have been wealthy for decades.
“Many pharmaceutical companies have also become rich during COVID pandemic. Moreover, the Modi government is not working for such rich people. Tell me, does a scheme such as Ayushman Bharat is meant for common people or Ambani”, he asked.
MLC, Arun Shahapur, Former MLA, Appu Pattanshetty, and party leaders were present at the press conference.

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.
