Rafale deal is the biggest scam: KC Venugopal
Bengaluru, September 2: AICC Karnataka incharge KC Venugopal said that a state-wide campaign would be conducted across the state against the Narendra Modi-led NDA government which has been looting the common people by hiking the petroleum prices, and other corruption cases.
Speaking to reporters at the KPCC office here on Sunday, Venugopal said that in the name of petrol and diesel, the central government has been looting the public money. There was a big conspiracy in hiking the petroleum products every day. In the same way, the centre has involved in other scandals. In October, the Congress would conduct the conventions and campaign in all districts in October, he said.
“Rafale fighter flights purchase deal is the biggest scandal in the country. Though AICC president Rahul Gandhi has asked several questions, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not yet answered them. Instead, they have been making false allegations in Bofors issue. We have asked three clarifications in Rafale deal issue. If the deal made during the UPA tenure was continued, there would be thousands of job opportunities for the youth. But the NDA government has made fresh deal and fixed high price”, he said.
No complaint
When Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy met AICC president Rahul Gandhi, the former did not complain against Siddaramaiah. It was media creation. Moreover, the coalition government would complete its five years tenure, he clarified.
KPCC president Dinesh Gundu Rao, working president Eshwar Khandre and others were present.
‘Seat for JDS- AICC to discuss’
“We will win all the 28 Lok Sabha seats in the state. AICC level committee will decide on seat sharing between the Congress and JDS for Lok Sabha election”.

Responding to the BJP’s criticism on AICC president Rahul Gandhi’s visit to China to visit Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage, Venugopal said that where did all those BJP leaders go when Prime Minister Narendra Modi danced with Chinese Prime Minister.

'Strong evidence' available against Saif attacker, police tell court while opposing his bail plea
Mumbai, Jul 25 (PTI): Police have opposed the bail plea of the Bangladeshi national arrested for allegedly stabbing Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan with a knife and injuring him at his home here in January this year, telling a Mumbai court there was "strong evidence" against the accused.
Citing a Forensic Science Laboratory report, police reiterated before the sessions court their earlier claim knife fragments that got lodged near the actor's spine during the attack as well as a part found at the crime spot have matched with the weapon recovered from the accused, Shariful Islam.
These three pieces were part of the same weapon (knife) used to attack the filmstar, the police said in a written response to the accused's plea submitted in the court on Thursday (July 24).
Khan was repeatedly stabbed with a knife by an intruder inside his 12th floor apartment in upscale Bandra on January 16 during a robbery attempt.
The 54-year-old actor underwent surgery at Lilavati Hospital to remove a piece of knife that got lodged near his spine during the attack. He was discharged from the private hospital after five days.
Shariful Islam, a Bangladeshi national, was arrested two days later for allegedly stabbing Khan.
The police, in their response, highlighted that the accused is a Bangladeshi citizen residing illegally in India.
If granted bail, there was a possibility that he may flee India and not appear before the court during the trial. The crime committed by the accused is of a "very serious nature, and strong evidence" is available against him, they argued.
In his bail plea, filed through advocate Vipul Dushing, the accused asserted he was innocent and had no prior criminal record.
Investigation into the case has practically concluded with only the filing of a chargesheet pending, the accused contended while seeking bail.
The alleged attacker has been booked under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) sections related to house trespass, robbery and dacoity with attempt to cause death or grievous injury.
