Krishna Byre Gowda takes on Modi Govt; says only 20 lakh jobs created against 5 crores promised jobs
Cong-JD(S) alliance Candidate from Bengaluru North Constituency Krishna Byre Gowda on Sunday slammed Narendra Modi and his government for failing to fulfill his promise of creating two-crore jobs every year which he made during previous elections.
“Modi had promised of creating two-crore jobs every year during the previous elections. By now he should’ve created 10 crore jobs in the country, but unfortunately only 20 lakh jobs were created during his five-year tenure” he was addressing a election campaign organised by the leaders of JD(S) and Congress near the office of Dasarahalli MLA R Manjunath here in Dasarahalli.
Krishna Byre Gowda added “Modi who asks the youth to make ‘Pakodas’ has also hiked the prices of gas cylinders from Rs. 400 to Rs. 1000/- making the lives of common man more miserable” he said while adding that Modi who calls himself a ‘Chowkidar’ (watchman) must have been able to save the soldiers who died in Pulwama, if he was the Chowkidar in true sense.
“Hundreds of small businesses lost its ground by the move of Prime Minister" he said while speaking of demonetization.
“Pakistan was defeated in war in the past as well. 92000 soldiers of Pakistan surrendered to Indian Army during the term of Indira Gandhi, but neither she nor the Congress party ever used it for political gains. Modi having lost his mind to win the elections has used the sacrifices made by our armed forces to get political mileage” he further added.
Seeking support from the voters he said “I have been selected to contest from this seat, so I need your blessing in the face of votes. Earlier, former PM HD Devegowda was to contest from the seat, but the alliance leader zeroed in on me”.
Dasarahalli MLA R Manjunath also spoke at the campaign rally and said that no BJP leader in the state stands eligible for seeking vote on the basis of his performance and development and instead, they were relying on the Modi’s name to seek votes. He said “Many people in the state and in the constituency don’t know the fact that DV Sadanand Gowda was a union minister. Such miserable has been their connect with the people. So there is no point in voting him back once again this time”.
Congress leader Dr BL Shankar and former MP C Narayanaswamy were also present at the event along with several leaders of JD(S) and Congress.

New Delhi (PTI): The CBI on Friday questioned industrialist Anil Ambani for the second consecutive day in connection with a Rs 2,929-crore cheating case, registered against Reliance Communications Ltd and him on a complaint by the State Bank of India, officials said.
Ambani arrived at the agency headquarters at around 10 am, they said.
On Thursday, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) sought his responses on alleged fund diversion, misappropriation and other irregularities in the loan funds issued to the company by the bank, they said.
"The appearance is in furtherance to Mr Ambani's commitment to extend full cooperation in the matter with all agencies," Anil D Ambani's Spokesperson had said in a statement on Thursday.
The CBI had booked Ambani in August last year for allegedly defrauding the SBI to the tune of Rs 2,929 crore, officials said.
According to the SBI complaint, now part of the FIR, the company had an outstanding of over Rs 40,000 crore to various lenders, with the public sector bank alone facing a loss of Rs 2,929 crore, according to 2018 figures.
The CBI booked Ambani and RCom for allegedly committing offences of criminal conspiracy, cheating and criminal breach of trust.
"It is alleged that the accused persons, in criminal conspiracy, misrepresented and got sanctioned credit facilities from SBI in favour of Reliance Communication Ltd," a CBI spokesperson said in a statement in August last year.
Ambani's spokesperson responded, "Anil D Ambani denies all allegations and charges, and will duly defend himself."
According to sources, the agency also searched the Ambani residence 'Sea Wind' at Cuffe Parade in Mumbai.
The complaint filed by SBI pertains to matters dating back more than 10 years, according to Ambani's spokesperson.
At that time, Ambani was a non-executive director of the company, with no involvement in the day-to-day management, a statement from his spokesperson then said.
"The matter remains sub-judice, pending before the NCLT (National Company Law Tribunal) and other judicial forums, including the Supreme Court, for the past six years," it said.
Anil Ambani has duly challenged SBI's declaration before the competent judicial forum, it said.
