Need to create awareness about Modi's inefficient governance.: Dinesh Ameen Mattu
Bengaluru, Jan 26: Senior journalist Dinesh Ameen Mattu said that instead of criticizing the BJP's communal ideology, it is necessary to create awareness among the people about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ineffective governance.
Speaking at a seminar on the theme Unite India and Strengthen Constitution held at the Gandhi Bhavan in the City, he said "BJP gets mileage by propogating communal issues. By this, it would not be possible to deliver the BJP's anti-people stand.
Narendra Modi has not fulfilled even a single assurance he gave in 2014 elections. He had said that he would create two crore jobs in a year, but he has destroyed the available jobs also. He had also assured that he would bring back black money from foreign countries, but escaped. He did not fulfill even one of such assurances.

Mumbai family deaths: FDA finds no watermelon vendor in area to check for affected stock
Mumbai (PTI): The Food and Drug Administration team probing the cause of death of four members of a family in south Mumbai's JJ Marg area have not been able to zero in on any watermelon vendor in the vicinity to check if the fruit had a role to play in the ill-fated incident, an official said on Thursday.
The Dokadia family, residents of Ghari Mohalla on Ismail Kurte Road, had hosted a get-together of relatives on the night of April 25. At around 1 am, hours after the guests had left, Abdullah Dokadia (40), his wife Nasreen (35), and daughters Ayesha (16) and Zaineb (13) ate pieces of a watermelon.
They suffered severe bouts of vomiting and diarrhoea in the early hours of April 26 and were rushed to a local hospital before being referred to the government-run J J Hospital where all four died during treatment.
"The FDA team visited the house of Dokadia and collected samples of chicken pulao and watermelon pieces. After two days, the leftover chicken pulao had developed fungus growth. The team also tried to locate watermelon vendors to check for any affected lots," he said.
But no vendors were found in the area for the past two days, preventing the FDA team from getting samples, the official added.
The FDA has requested the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) to share the report on the food samples collected by them, he added.
A senior Mumbai police official said the force is waiting for FSL reports in the case, adding that questions on presence of sedatives etc in the fruit could be answered only then.
The statements of the kin of the deceased are being recorded to ascertain if it is a case of mass suicide, and it is being checked if the Dokadia family were in debt or distressed over some issue, the police official said.
