Health Minister Dinesh Gundurao accuses PM Modi of governing through lies for 10 years
Bengaluru: Health Minister Dinesh Gundurao criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that under his leadership, inflation and unemployment have surged in the country, and the government has resorted to falsehoods for a decade.
Gundurao's remarks came in the wake of the Tamil Nadu government approaching the Supreme Court for drought relief. He further added that the central government is showing neglect towards southern states like Karnataka. He further said that the Centre should provide compensation to states affected by natural disasters, as mandated by NDRF rules, regardless of the political party governing the states.
Gundurao warned against the Centre's neglect of southern states, suggesting that such a step-motherly approach could harm the unity of the country. He criticized the BJP for what he called false promises and stated that voters would respond to such rhetoric in the upcoming elections.
ಸುಳ್ಳು ಬಿಜೆಪಿಯವರ ಮನೆ ದೇವ್ರು. ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ನಾಯಕರು ಬಾಯಿಬಿಟ್ಟರೆ ಸಾಕು ಬರೀ ಸುಳ್ಳು. ಬಿಜೆಪಿಯ ಸುಳ್ಳು ಗ್ಯಾರಂಟಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಬೆಲೆ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಬಿಜೆಪಿಯ ಜುಮ್ಲಾಗಳಿಗೆ ಈ ಬಾರಿಯ ಚುನಾವಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮತದಾರರು ತಕ್ಕ ಉತ್ತರ ನೀಡುತ್ತಾರೆ.#BJP #BJPGovernment #BJPFalseGuarantees pic.twitter.com/lldZxsesbX

Women BJP MLAs protest against opposition in UP assembly premises
Lucknow (PTI): Women BJP MLAs held a protest in the Vidhan Bhawan complex before the one-day special session of Uttar Pradesh assembly, slamming the opposition for defeating the passage of a bill, which would have led to implementation of the Women's Reservation Law, in the Lok Sabha.
This followed another demonstration by Samajwadi Party MLAs, who alleged that the BJP was misleading public in the name of women's reservation.
The women BJP legislators assembled in front of Chaudhary Charan Singh's statue in the assembly premises, holding banners inscribed with the slogan "Insult to Matrushakti (women's power), India will not tolerate it". The protesting members entered the main hall of Vidhan Bhawan carrying the banners.
Participating in the protest, the state Minister for Women Welfare and Child Development, Baby Rani Maurya, told reporters that all opposition parties, including the Samajwadi Party and the Congress, had opposed the women's reservation, a stance for which they would have to pay a heavy political price.
"On this issue, all of us women stand united. We will ensure that we secure our reservation," she said.
BJP MLA Ketki Singh remarked that their protest represents the collective outrage of millions of women across the state.
Singh asserted that the opposition has betrayed women by creating hurdles in the path of women's reservation. The current demonstration is merely the beginning, and very soon, women from every street, intersection and household will join the protest movement, she said.
Minister Vijaylakshmi Gautam said, "We strongly condemn the despicable act committed by the Samajwadi Party and the Congress in an attempt to hold back 'half the population' (women). Their action was directed against the very bill that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had introduced to empower and strengthen Nari Shakti (women's power), and which he strived to pass expeditiously."
Uttar Pradesh assembly is holding a one-day special session on Thursday. During the session, the government is set to move a censure motion against the opposition parties over their failure to pass the Constitution Amendment Bill, which would have led to implementation of the Women's Reservation Act, in the Lok Sabha.
