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”.

I like both sides of argument on H-1B; want competent people coming into US: Donald Trump
Washington (PTI): US President Donald Trump said he likes both sides of the argument on H-1B foreign guest workers' visa, noting that he likes "very competent people" coming into the country and that he has used the programme.
"I like both sides of the argument, but I also like very competent people coming into our country, even if that involves them training and helping other people that may not have the qualifications they do. But I don't want to stop -- and I'm not just talking about engineers, I'm talking about people at all levels," Trump told reporters at the White House during a joint news conference with Oracle CTO Larry Ellison, Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son, and Open AI CEO Sam Altman.
The president was responding to a question on the ongoing debate on H-1B visa within his support base.
While his close confidants like Elon Musk, the Tesla owner, supports H-1B visa as it brings in qualified tech professionals, many of his supporters oppose it arguing that it takes away jobs from Americans.
"We want competent people coming into our country. And H-1B, I know the programme very well. I use the programme. Maître d', wine experts, even waiters, high-quality waiters -- you've got to get the best people. People like Larry, he needs engineers, Masa also needs... they need engineers like nobody's ever needed them," Trump said.
"So, we have to have quality people coming in. Now by doing that, we're expanding businesses and that takes care of everybody. So I'm sort of on both sides of the argument, but what I really do feel is that we have to let really competent people, great people, come into our country. And we do that through the H-1B programme," Trump added.
