Mangalore: Response for Rahul rally more than expected, BJP spreading lies: Congress

Mangalore, Apr 7: The district Congress on Monday April 7 said that the response for AICC vice-president Rahul Gandhi's rally at Nehru Maidan here on April 4 was more than what the party had expected.

Addressing a press meet at the Congress office here, Ibrahim Kodijal, the interim president of the district Congress said, "People from all the eight Assembly constituencies of the district had gathered for Rahul Gandhi’s rally at Nehru Maidan on Friday April 4. The response was overwhelming."

He further said, "The BJP is spreading lies and misleading people; but this is not good for them. Our Lok Sabha candidate (Janardhan Poojary) looks at Modi as his opponent because the BJP never asks for votes in the name of its candidate or party.”

Criticizing BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, he said, "Politicians like Atal Bihari Vajpayee showed a dislike towards Modi after the Gujarat riots; leaders like Advani, Sushma Swaraj, Jaswanth Singh and Murli Manohar Joshi too do not like Modi."

He also pointed out that the US has refused to provide visa to Modi.

Taking a dig at Rukmayya Poojary who is said to have released photos comparing the crowds at the two rallies, Kalige Taranath Shetty, spokesperson of the district Congress said, "Rukmayya Poojary was sidelined for five years and just to survive in the party he holds press meets and gives bizarre statements."

He also said that the BJP leaders have involved themselves in 'cheap politics' by comparing Rahul's rally to Modi's February visit.

"People arrived for Rahul Gandhi's rally between 2 pm and 4 pm. The BJP took pictures of Rahul's rally and compared it to Modi’s rally. But the Congress planned the rally in only three days and thereby created a record, unlike BJP which planned Modi's rally for 30 days. We have taken this issue (of BJP clicking pictures for comparison) very seriously and filed a written complaint to the district election commission," he said.

"Let the BJP hold a Dharmayudha but not play these kind of cheap political gimmicks," he added.

Ibrahim Kodijal alleged that the activists who harassed corporator Pratibha Kulai recently were from the BJP and Sangh Parivar.

When asked against whom the complaint was filed over the issue, Kallige Taranath said, “The complaint was filed against the youths who were involved.  There were two arrests while the police officials were on the spot.”

Stany Alvares, A C Bhandary, Naveen D’Souza and others were also present.

    Dear Nayana, I can tell you why? It’s just because “Mahatma’s National Party” Even after 67 years of Independence, our Central Government still maintained “Education Level” at very low, so most of the people do not know what corruption or scam is? Most of the time people do not even know who the representative from their constituency is and they simply go and press the button for “Kai” Secondly, only Hindu votes are divided, whereas two other communities still believe in “Most Corrupt CONGiss Party” because they get all the privileges at our cost

    Our MP has raised voice in Parliament for sea erosion problem, areca nut farmers, train service, NH project etc local problems and for state issues like Kaveri water, belgaum border etc.

    People of Dakshina Kannada have already decided to give second chance for 24th ranked MP and people of India have decided to give no more chance for 355th ranked buffoon.

    We are very proud of our MP "Anna Nalin"

    If the response was good according to Kodijal, then why they have to justsify it or call a press conference, if it were the real supportors of congress, we will come to know on 17th. Why TAM TAM about it, only people who are insecure will talk like this, but its ok we can Understand. Chalo halat badalte hai is baar, AB KI BAAR....MODI SARKAR.

    @ D.P.SHETTY,
    What is wrong in begging vote from particular community/caste? Every party does it & it is just. Even BJP can go to Bukari's house. Who is stopping them?

    Saying 'We don't require votes from some particular caste/community' is wrong (it is arrogance & can be considered as a crime), most of the BJP leaders do this.

    by the way... who is Rukkayya?

    Narendra - Go and type in google 'crowds hired for Modi's rally' and you will see numerous articles wherein crowds were paid money and 10-15 trains were booked to ferry uneducated people.

    Even for his rally in Mangalore, 70 percent of people were paid and brought from Chickmaglur,Sakleshpur, Udupi, Kasargod.A lot of construction workers from Bijapur etc. were forcefully paid and brought to attend his rally.

    By the way, its reported that they spend around 10-15 crores per rally..How will he repay this to Mukesh and Adani? By selling India or donating fertile farming land?

    Survey.That's why BSY is demanding a miniserial berth to Ananth Kumar!!
    BSy thinks that people of Karnataka

Moreover almost all News Channels broad casted their News Article about Rahul’s Rally in nearby City Kasargod but not of Mangalore, why? Don’t you ashamed to praise 355th rank holder in 24th rank holder’s constituency? But why few of the usual “Face Shower” from CONGiss Party missing for this Press Conference?
