Kalaburagi, Apr 3 : Terming the Congress Election Manifesto as a bunch of false promises, Opposition leader in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly B S Yeddyurappa, who is also BJP State President, questioned the credibility of those who drafted the Manifesto.

Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday, Congress is trying to come to power by unethical and by supporting anti-national forces and hence has come out with such a manifesto. ” They want to remove law of sedition, this is nothing but supporting anti-nationalism. People of the country will not support Congress”.

Former Chief Minister took strong exception to AICC President Rahul Gandhi’s repeated statement about farmers loan waiver and said that in Karnataka the coalition government assured waiver of Rs 46,000 crore but it was not fulfilled even after nine months in office.
Yeddyurappa claimed that the popularity of Narendra Modi has increased in the last five years and BJP will retain power at the Centre and Modi will continue to be Prime Minister.

National President Of SDC P P John To Contest From Waynad Loksabha Seat

Karnataka State President R A Janab of SDC, a newly formed political party from Kerala said that they will be approaching Election Commissioner of India against candidates contesting from more than I seat.

By the way the Secular Democratic Congress (SDC) is all set to fight against corruption, family dynasty politics & communal forces, rights for woman’s reservation, rights of senior citizen’s to live with dignity & also freedom of speech, rights of freedom of speech & expression for the downtrodden, farmers & backward class including the minority community as per the guidelines present in our Indian Constitution.

Speaking to Nasheman the Karnataka State President R A Janab further said, “We have full faith in the Constitution of India. Hence we will fight for the rights of the people of the Karnataka state as well as for the people of the country. All the political parties have been claiming to do the same since India got its independence but to no avail. In fact they have seriously let us down. Today each & every political leader claims to be following the same path but we assure everyone that we will definitely bring the requisite change in the rampantly corrupt nation.”

“Our National President & founder P P John of the Secular Democratic Congress (SDC) party is now all set to contest from the Waynad seat from the district of Kerala against AICC President Rahul Gandhi and the reason for his decision to contest from the Waynad seat is to bring awareness amongst the voters of the district to vote for a person of local standing & not to a person also standing from another seat that too from another state.”

“So it is but natural that we intend to curb the practice of such candidates contesting from 2 different seats mainly for 2 reasons 1) The candidate of one particular seat must have lost his so called confidence after winning the seat or maybe he must have definitely not worked in his winning constituency. This is one of the reasons for his looking out for greener pastures or maybe because he has succeeded in deceiving the innocent & gullible voters of his winning constituency. 2) After having won from both the constituency maybe he has to resign from 1 constituency & by doing so he will be certainly deceiving the voters of his resigning constituency. And thereby he will be putting an extra burden on the ex-chequer as well as the poor tax payer’s money which may again be used for holding another election.”     

R A Janab further averred that he along with P P John as well as his party workers will be writing to the Election Commissioner to ban such candidates contesting from more than 1 seats right in the initial stage itself. And we are also sure that P P John will certainly win the election with a full-fledged majority from his Waynad Constituency in Kerala.        

Mayawati describes Mr. Kalyan as a young leader with passion to serve the poor and the downtrodden.

Addressing a press conference, along with her alliance partner Jana Sena Party president and actor Pawan Kalyan here at Sai Priya Resorts, she said, while the Congress did injustice by bifurcating the State without according the special status, the BJP made tall promises during 2014 elections but failed to keep none of them.

Asked whether she was in the race to become Prime Minister, she said it would depend on the poll outcome and the desire of the people. However, she added that she would replicate the UP model of development which she had ushered in during her four-time stint as Chief Minister of the State, if given an opportunity.

Exuding confidence that the BSP, JSP, CPI and CPI (M) alliance would form the next government headed by Mr. Kalyan, whom she described as a young leader with passion to serve the poor and the downtrodden.

Mr. Kalyan who also spoke briefly said, Ms. Mayawati was a tall leader with proven track-record of administration and that the country needed her services as the Prime Minister. He denied the charge that he was ‘soft’ in attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP saying he never used ‘indecent’ words against anyone like AP CM Chandrababu Naidu..

Ms. Mayawati said in UP BSP-Samajwadi Party and its allies were all set to sweep the elections teaching the BJP a fitting lesson. She said in other States also the parties which subscribe to their ideology would come together post-elections.

Asked to comment on the buzz in certain quarters that BSP alliance with JSP would help Telugu Desam Party, she shot back, “don’t you think division in TDP and YSR Congress Party will help our alliance to form the government in Andhra Pradesh?”
