Mangalore: AAP rubbishes allegations against M R Vasudeva

Daijiworld Media Network - Mangalore

Mangalore, Mar 18: In the wake reports in a section of the media alleging that Aam Aadmi Lok Sabha candidate M R Vasudeva had past affiliations to RSS and that he was involved in issues related to rehabilitation of those displaced during Mangalore airport expansion, the AAP on Tuesday March 18 dismissed the charges and said the allegations were 'unsubstantiated and speculative'.


In a press release, the AAP stated:

"Some news items on March 17 regarding M R Vasudeva, Aam Aadmi Party candidate for the Lok Sabha elections, made some serious allegations based on unsubstantiated and speculative comments that originated by an individual.

"Some of these allegations do not apply to any actions taken by M R Vasudeva, others are not based on facts and tantamount to slander and defamation of an outstanding and respected member of our society. When an individual reports such allegations to the press and is subsequently reported and attributed to the individual, that individual is liable to face a libel suit. Mentioning past involvement at an early stage of M R Vasudeva’s life as a current association as a headline is inappropriate sensationalizing and a misrepresentation of his current affiliations. Besides being the Aam Aadmi Party candidate, M R Vasudeva has and has had numerous associations with a variety of organizations and has provided a full disclosure of the same to the party.
 
"The following are responses to issues raised:
 
- All rehabilitation cases concerning the upgrading the Mangalore Airport were handled by the Govt. of Karnataka and not by the Airport Authority of India which is a Central Govt. undertaking. Consequently the rehabilitation was done by the State Government. Attributing any issues to M R Vasudeva is not fair. Any allegations regarding this matter should be referred to the State.
 
- M R Vasudeva has never asked any party to approve his candidature for Lok Sabha. However national parties had approached him for his support and be associated with them. Which he declined. Subsequently, he was approached by representatives of the Aam Aadmi Party and he applied. He was accepted and was invited to stand as the Lok Sabha candidate of the Dakshina Kannada district.

- His association with organizations such as RSS, Bharat Seva Dal as an adolescent is inconsequential.

- As the former director of the Mangalore International Airport, he established associations and developed relationships with members of all parties and several dignitaries.

"There is no rift in the AAP regarding his candidature. If any dissent exists it is because we are a vibrant democratic party and allow party members to voice their individual opinions. However, as a party we stand united. Any clarification regarding party matters from the party will be provided by the candidate himself or by Nandagopal, who is the official spokesperson and responsible for media relations."

    Look at the kind of candidates that the BJP is putting up in Karnataka. All the corrupt people who where thrown out by the voters in the last election have been brought back to the BJP my Modi to increase his votes. Do you really think Modi cares about corruption any more than the congress does ?

    Modi and congress are the same thing, one is shrewder and articulate and the other is a fool.
    The cost of electricity is over twice as muck in Karnataka. Modi and Congress are both agents of Ambani and will do his bidding. Look at the price of LPG, which is raised to benefit reliance. Only AAP has stood up to expose this corrupt nexus. No wonder they are scared of AAP.

    If you want to take a stand against corruption AAP is the only choice. People do not need mega development projects where their land and water is snatched and handed over to industrialists. Amm admi just needs a clean and just administration that does nto exploit him.

    What stupid allegations. Looks they are already scared of the AAP party and candidate. why the hell you dig on his past and see what all you can pick up. Stupid act, really. He is such a gentleman, with out any criminal background, highly qualified, dignified candidate. Just imagine he is representing us the South canara at any events and speak with such a high professionalism. wow. I am feeling proud of the moment now itself. LEt's not dig further. Accept the fact and let him fight with his own qualifications and capabilities. You other parties ( congi and BJP..and a few other parties ) , please dig a little on your candidates and see what and all s..t comes out. So, please stop this blame game. We the people of Mangalore are matured enough to decide which is right and which is wrong. Don't come to teach us, please...

    RSS & BJP publicists themselves are floating rumours about Vasudeva being an RSS Member during his College days. Because RSS & BJP is terribly afraid of the growing popularity of AAP among the younger generation, and they know that this will divert the votes of Youngsters from BJP towards AAP.

    M R Vasudeva is an excellent candidate. His past is past!
    Foe's turn friends, and Friends turn Foe's.
    However, in this election, AAP may get LIMITED success.
    But they will get experience.
    AAP should make their plans known, and reach it to every nook and corner of India. AAP should recruit good candidates.
    BUT WE VOTERS, CAN'T AFFORD TO LOOSE OUR VOTE, Wherever they are not likely to win! Let's hope and wish all the best to AAP for the NEXT time!

    In my view, Sri Vasudeva will win for sure as most are fed up with other 2 major parties performance past several decades. I wish Mr.Lobo should have been too. Because these souls, win elections by their merits & not because of any party affiliation.
    Any one comes first should replace most old hands from Mangalore City Corporation Admin.with qualified hands if Mangalore has to improve truly & without bias.

    We Indians are emotional fools. we know only 2 party one Congi dongi Another BJP , they both make the people fool. This gentleman didn't have any criminal background. it means we may get a minister who will not be surrounded with Young goons around him. Whenever any congi or BJP leader walk around . u will see that they go with 10 or 15 guys with them goons but in the white shirt. Let's give a educated person a chance and see if he can develop . Because most of our leader's are either criminal's or lawyer .There is not even a single Science,chemical ,computer science studied politician's . we need a new law, it means if even u have to be cooperator u should be Graduated with at least 75%,minister's should be at least PHD or higher study in any subject. if this rule comes we can see a totally new vision , at the moment the minister knows only one vision KASS .

    Ask the BJP & Congi candidate what is their qualification and in which subject u will find LAW . It's a common subject for them to find a loophole in our law and use it for their favour. at the end of the day they will they want improvement But they go with ROAD ,TRAIN PROJECT SO THEY CAN MAKE MONEY we need a GOOD EDUCATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE , HOW TO GET A WATER FROM DIFFERENT SOURCE OR HOW TO DO RAIN CULTIVATION , HOW TO STOP THE DISEASE ,HOW TO PREVENT ACCIDENT .THIS TYPE OF THINGS MINISTER'S NEED TO THINK , SPECIALY WASTE MANAGEMENT . Find a way to use green energy . Stop giving stupid bashana's .

    So many BJP and RSS agents joined AAP. Their main agenda is dividing Congress votes and helping BJP to get more votes and seats. Vasudeva knows he is not going to win from Mangalore, still he is contesting just for defeat Mr.Janardhana Poojary only. Dear secular voters, please don't vote for this stupid AAP.

    From the number of rally's held at the cost of the common man we can understand who is begging the most for votes.Cong. has gained enough of fame to win the votes without begging by ruling the country for 6 decades.
    Only the unpopular ones need advertisement and publicity by begging.

    Vasudeva's association with RSS or other RSS sister organizations is not a deterrent factor for contesting as AAP candidate.In fact it would be welcome factor.Vasaudeva was a popular AAI officer and contributed considerably for development of the Mangalore airport as an international airport.The quality he exhibited as as officer of AAI not necessarily a guarantee for his efficient politician.This we have seen in Lobo MLA who was a popular bureaucrat.As an Commissioner of MCC he Might have done well, but as a politician people are seeing him now, which is evident in respect of property tax hike decision taken by MCC now putting the Poojary congress MP candidate in confusion and bad light.So people do not look too much in Vasudeva because once people entering politics become easily a poli.
