Pramod Muthalik, BJP have same ideologies: Nalin Kumar Kateel on Sri Rama Sene ultimatum to govt
Udupi: Karnataka BJP Chief Nalin Kumar Kateel on Monday said the recent statements of party legislator Basanagouda Patil Yatnal were taken note of and they were brought to the notice of the party’s Central Disciplinary Committee.
He further added the committee will be contemplating further action against the legislator if needed.
Speaking about the party’s preparation for the upcoming assembly election in the state, Kateel added that the party’s preparation was on course and they were expecting to win at least 150 seats during the elections next year.
“We are chalking out a plan for that accordingly.” He said.
Commenting on the inflation in the economy Kateel noted that the rise in prices of various commodities was natural as the prices are high in the international market as well.
“Ever since our party came into power in 2014, things have changed. When prices are rising in the international market, it rises here and when it comes down in the international market, it comes down here,” he opined.
“In the 75 years, it is only the BJP government that has given free gas, delivered gas to the doorstep despite no application, credited Rs. 500 directly into the account and credited 10 thousand rupees to the farmers’ accounts every year. Despite rising prices, Ayushman Card was issued to BPL cardholders to control it. Our government has provided full cooperation in this manner”, he said.
When asked about the Sri Rama Sene chief Pramod Muthalik’s ultimatum to the state government over Azaan and loudspeakers issue, Kateel said although the issue of activists and the responsibilities of the government were different, the ideology of Muthalik and BJP were the same.
“The issue of activists is different, and the responsibility of the government that governs constitutionally is different. However, Muthalik and our ideology are the same,” he said.
Concerning Azan, the state government must take strict action. Our government is set to make a decision based on the court’s order. There are legal and constitutional obstacles that hinder the removal of microphones from the mosque. After overseeing them, the state government will take a decision”, he said.

Man identified as Pravin Mishra arrested in Gujarat for spying for Pakistan
Bharuch, May 9: A man has been arrested in Bharuch district of Gujarat for allegedly spying for a Pakistani intelligence agency, police said on Thursday.
Pravin Mishra, the accused, had allegedly collected highly confidential information about the Indian Armed Forces and defence-related R&D firms, said the Gujarat Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
The CID started its probe following a tip-off from the Military Intelligence, Udhampur.
A resident of Ankleshwar in Bharuch district and native of Muzaffarpur in Bihar, Mishra was in contact with a Pakistani intelligence operative through Whatsapp calls and audio chat "to carry out a criminal conspiracy against the country that could have serious security consequences," the CID said in a release.
"It was found that the information was being sent to an intelligence agency located in Pakistan," the CID said.
A case was registered against Mishra and the Pakistani operative who used an Indian WhatsApp number and the fake Facebook ID of `Sonal Garg', it said.
"The case has also been registered against the officers/employees involved in the criminal conspiracy who were in touch with the operative on the WhatsApp number," the release added.
The Military Intelligence had alerted the CID about the present or retired employees of the Armed Forces, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and employees associated with the R&D of missile system development being used to get confidential information, the CID said.
Further probe was underway, it added.
