‘When King is a businessman,citizens will become beggars’: BK Hariprasad lashes out at Narendra Modi
Shivamogga, October 29: Lashing out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rajya Sabha Member and Congress leader B.K. Hariprasad said that when King became the businessman, the citizens would become beggars.
Speaking to reporters here on Monday, Hariprasad said that when Narendra Modi had visited Japan earlier, he had said that there was a businessman in every drop of his blood. According to Chanakya, when the King became the businessman, the citizens would become the beggars and the present situation would prove it, he said.
Narendra Modi-led Central Government has failed on all fronts. General people were finding it difficult to lead their life. One has to use telescope to find how many times Narendra Modi spoke about farmers and labourers in his four and half years administration, he said.
Modi has been telling that he would extend the Gujarat-model development to other states. Every day, more than 70 flights would fly from Bengaluru to Delhi. But only a few flights would fly from Ahmadabad to Delhi. Is it the Gujarat model development, he asked.
“There is nothing to learn from RSS. They speak lies often to make it truth. Former chief minister Yeddyurappa who presented farmers budget with green towel, fired against the farmers. The Congress-JDS candidates would win in all the constituencies including Shivamogga Lok Sabha constituency, he exuded confidence.

Trump pauses Project Freedom, claims great progress for final agreement with Iran
Washington (PTI): President Donald Trump has suspended “Project Freedom,” to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, claiming progress in negotiations with Iran toward an agreement to end the war.
In a post on Truth Social on Tuesday, Trump said, “Great progress has been made toward a complete and final agreement with representatives of Iran.”
“Based on the request of Pakistan and other Countries, the tremendous Military Success that we have had during the Campaign against the Country of Iran and, additionally, the fact that Great Progress has been made toward a Complete and Final Agreement with Representatives of Iran, we have mutually agreed that, while the Blockade will remain in full force and effect, Project Freedom (The Movement of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz) will be paused for a short period of time to see whether or not the Agreement can be finalized and signed," Trump said.
Project Freedom was launched on Monday to escort ships, stranded due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, out to safety. Trump had announced the operation on Sunday and the US Central Command began implementing it the next day.
However, the Project led to friction in the vicinity of the narrow seaway, a key route for transporting one-fifth of the global oil supplies, with the UAE claiming that its ships were attacked by Iran. The US also claimed to have destroyed several Iranian small boats.
Trump’s statement on Truth Social came hours after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that Operation Epic Fury, launched on February 28, had concluded as its objectives have been achieved.
"Operation Epic Fury is concluded. We achieved the objectives of that operation. We're not cheering for an additional situation to occur. We would prefer the path of peace. What @POTUS would prefer is a deal... that is, so far, not the route that Iran has chosen," Rubio told a press conference at the White House on Tuesday.
On Project Freedom, Rubio said the goal was to rescue almost 23,000 civilians from 87 different countries who were trapped inside the Persian Gulf and left for dead by the Iranian regime.
"This is not an offensive operation. This is a defensive operation, and what that means is very simple: there’s no shooting unless we're shot at first. We’re not attacking them, but if they're attacking us or they’re attacking a ship, you need to respond to that," Rubio said.
