Bengaluru, Jan 18: “I have never before seen such a big liar like Prime Minister Narendra Modi in my political career”, said former chief minister Siddaramaiah.

Speaking at the programme at the Palace Ground here on Friday, Siddaramaiah said that Narendra Modi who was rewarded as a big liar had become the prime minister of the country which is an insult to the people.

The world knew that PM Modi words and deeds were different. Even then, he has not given up false promises and false propaganda. Before his false propaganda would reach the people, the Congress workers and leaders should educate the anti-people policies of the Modi government, he appealed.  

“RSS, BJP and Sangh Parivar organizations are dangerous to the country. In their history, these organizations have never done a single pro-people work. They have been creating communal clash by sowing seeds of castes and religions through which, they are trying to get power. Such a communal BJP should not come to power once again”, Siddaramaiah said.

“By cutting the job opportunities of youth in the country, the central government has increased the unemployment problem. At this time, it has introduced 10 per cent reservation to upper caste poor people. How can it give jobs to that 10 per cent people? This is another false promise”.

-Siddaramaiah, Former Chief Minister

Appeal to come together against BJP

Thousands of Congress workers, leaders, Ministers, MLAs, MPs, parliamentary secretaries and others came together on a single stage and opposed the central government’s anti-people’s policy.

The leaders were of the opinion that both Congress and JDS combine should win all the 28 Lok Sabha seats in the state, for which, the workers should reach every household and educate the people against the Rafale deal, looting of money in the name of Fasal Bima insurance scheme by the corporate companies, unemployment, demonetisation, GST impact on common people and others.

Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.

Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.

Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.

An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.

The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.

A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.

Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."

"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.

"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.

A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
