BJP workers celebrate victory in Mangalore

December 8, 2013

Mangalore, Dec 8: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers in Mangalore on Sunday celebrated the victory of assembly elections in the Delhi, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan states.

As soon as the election results were out, the local BJP leaders and workers gathered in front of party office distributed sweets. The jubilant saffron cadres burst crackers across the city including Pumpwell and PVS Circle. They also shouted slogans calling Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi as the future prime minister of India.

Addressing a group of BJP workers near PVS Circle, Mangalore MP Nalin Kumar Kateel said that people of four north Indian states have taught a good lesson to Congress party ahead of looming Lok Sabha elections.

“Despite widespread anti-propaganda against BJP, it has succeeded to unseat Congress in Delhi, retain Madhya Pradesh and assuming power in Rajasthan. We have defeated Congress in Chhattisgarh too,” said Mr Kateel sending a big thank you to voters of four states.

“People of India, who are fed up with the corruption of Congress, now have a major demand. They want to see Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi as India's Prime Minister at the earliest,” he said.

He said that Sunday's election results have Mr Modi's popularity once again. It is time for Congress to repent for cheating people for years and making India weak under the leadership of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, he added.

Speaking on the occasion MLC Capt Ganesh Karnik said termed the election results as the beginning of new era and end of dynastic rule in India.

MLC Monappa Bhandary predicted complete wash out of Congress in impending Lok Sabha election.

Former MLA N Yogish Bhat, and city BJP leaders Srikar Prabhu, Sudhir Shetty, Nithin Kumar, Pushpalatha Gatti and advocate Raghavendra Rao were present among others.

JD(S) leader G T Devegowda backs CM Siddaramaiah in MUDA row, taunts HDK

Mysuru: Chairman of JD(S) core committee and Chamundeshwari constituency MLA G T Devegowda on Thursday expressed his solidarity with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah saying the latter need not resign, while lambasting leaders of his own party and alliance partner BJP, including Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy.

In his speech during Mysuru Dasara inauguration he said that if persons against whom FIR is registered have to resign, many leaders from all the three parties, including Opposition Leader R Ashoka, will have to resign.

“All are sitting in glass houses... Since I know Siddaramaiah well, I am talking about him. At a time when mines and real estate are ruling politics, Siddaramaiah has survived in politics. He has never done any favour,” Devegowda said.

He added, “Allegations against Siddaramaiah are unexpected and accidental. If the Governor and Chief Justice order an investigation, it does not mean that he should resign."

He continued, asking, "Have they told Siddaramaiah to resign or have they asked to imprison him? When a person becomes a Central minister, he or she should realise their dignity and responsibility. Instead of recognising the good work done by Siddaramaiah, they ask him to resign. Will Kumarswamy (facing an FIR) resign? Should Siddaramaiah, who has become CM with a support of 135 MLAs, resign?"

"Opposition leaders are not remembering the good work of earlier CMs Kengal Hanumanthaiah, Veerendra Patil, Ramakrishna Hegde, H D Deve Gowda or S M Krishna. Karnataka is a model state. It is a bad trend to topple an elected government which is doing good work,” he further said.

Devegowda added, “Siddaramaiah is Goddess Chamundeshwari’s ‘Varaputra’ and hence has her blessings during tough times. He won the election in Chamundeshwari Assembly constituency, when the BJP-JD(S) government was in power in 2006. With the blessings of the Goddess, he has held varied positions right from becoming an MLA for the first time in 1983. He presented 15 budgets and has become CM for a second time. He took H C Mahadevappa, a Dalit leader to the state level. Siddaramaiah has the support of Deputy CM D K Shivakumar as ‘Jodeththu’. Blessings of the beneficiaries of guarantee schemes are with him (Siddaramaiah).”

Siddaramaiah said, “Devegowda was a MUDA member. He knows the truth. Hence, he is saying this. His words have filled strength in me. ‘Satyameva Jayate’, Truth will always triumph.”
