Dinesh Gundu Rao slams Modi for his silence over Gauri Lankesh murder
Shivamogga, August 28: KPCC president Dinesh Gundu Rao asked as to why Prime Minister Narendra Modi was maintaining silence over Gauri Lankesh murder case.
Speaking to reporters here on Tuesday, Dinesh Gundu Rao said that Modi has soft corner over Gauri Lankesh murder case and his silence has been creating many questions.
NDA fails
BJP led NDA government has failed on all fronts. People in the country were disappointed. Corruption was increased. Incidents of exploitation and sexual harassment on women were on the rise in the country. The NDA government has failed to bring black money stashed in foreign countries. It has also failed in creating job opportunities. Common people were suffering due to skyrocketing of prices of essential commodities, he said.
The Congress has been toiling to bring the society together. But the BJP has been dividing the society in the name of caste and religion, he alleged.
This election would directly connect with the people. The Congress would win more seats in the local bodies election. People have been recalling the development works of Siddaramaiah. The state was in the first place in capital investment in the country. The Congress government had done good to everyone. There was Congress wave in the state and in some places, it has to fight with the JDS. People have rejected the BJP, he said.
In his speech, Siddaramaiah had said that he would become the chief minister if he got people’s blessings. But his statement was read too much, he said.
The local bodies elections were not the referendum to the Lok Sabha election. BJP has been playing with the emotions of the people and seeking votes. In the last four years, it has failed at the centre. It has failed to fulfill its promises made in its manifesto, he alleged.
Party leaders Manjunath Bhandary, TN Srinivas, KB Prasanna Kumar, HM Chandrashekarappa, N Ramesh, Ismail Khan, HS Sundaresh, Kashi Vishwanath, YH Nagaraj and others were present.
‘No confusion’
There was nothing wrong in the statement of former prime minister HD Deve Gowda that one from JDS should be there in the Coordination Committee. It is left to the JDS that who will become the member. Major decisions related to the government were being taken only after discussing in the Coordination Committee meeting. Loan waiver issue was also discussed. There might be some minor problems, but they would be solved through discussions, Dinesh Gundu Rao said.
