Mangalore: Hate politics will get fitting response - BJP district in-charge
Daijiworld Media Network – Mangalore (SP)
Mangalore, May 18: Dakshina Kannada BJP in-charge, Prathap Simha Nayak, said that Congress, intoxicated by its recent success, has been resorting to politics of vengeance in some parts of the district. “If the situation continues, we are prepared to retaliate,” he warned.
He said that the district unit of the party has been receiving reports of posing threats and assaulting the BJP activists. “If the Congress, which has got the mandate, works for the development of the district, we are prepared to cooperate. If they want friction, they will get it,” he said, addressing a press conference here on Friday May 17.
To take stock of the situation arising out of the defeat of the BJP candidates in the recent assembly election, and to review reasons for this drubbing, teams of the party will be visiting individual districts to hold consultations there. A team of BJP leaders will be visiting Dakshina Kannada district on May 21 in this connection, he said.
Nayak added that the district BJP unit will cogitate upon the defeat of the party candidates in the district under the leaderships of Suresh Kumar, Sunil Kumar, and Kota Srinivas Poojary.
He observed that the union government is neck-deep in corruption scandals, which get unravelled one after the other, adding that his party will be organizing a mega ‘Jail Bharo’ movement on May 27, to create an awareness among the people towards the failure of the Congress in handling corruption, price rise, and security issues of the country.
Nayak welcomed the people-centric welfare measures announced by chief minister (CM), Siddaramaiah, but felt that the CM was wrong in making these announcements before the constitution of the state ministry, to further his own ego. “Some of his decisions have been taken in haste. He was wrong in withdrawing cow slaughter ban bill. Dakshina Kannada district has been seeing an upsurge in the incidents of theft of cows. The CM, instead of taking measures to strengthen the existing acts, says he would follow the 1964 act which does not have strict provisions. He should review his decisive, and affect cow slaughter ban in the state,” he urged.
MLC, Monappa Bhandary, Nitin Kumar, and Pushpalata Gatti, were present at the press conference.
