Belthangady: Former PM H D Deve Gowda does a volte-face; expresses optimism at BJP rule


Daijiworld Media Network—Belthangady (EP)

Belthangady, Jul 3: “Such an era has come after 30 years. In fact, people have blessed the BJP. They can pass the budget without any fear of opposition pressure. Though there are many problems, BJP can retain the people’s faith if they face challenges and govern,” said HD Deve Gowda, former Prime Minister.

He was answering the questions of reporters at Shantivana Nature Treatment Hospital in Dharmasthala on Thursday July 3.






“We cannot respond to the budget now. Let us wait and see what issues will be discussed. It is difficult to measure the performance of the government within a month. BJP has invited leaders of SAARC countries to the oath-taking ceremony. Such an attempt has occurred after
30 years. There may be better days ahead. Let us wait and see,” he said.

When asked about the Congress not been recognized as opposition, he said that it is left to the Speaker and he will not question his limitations. When asked about the failure of the JD(S) in the election, he said that the JD(S) has not joined any other political party and fought on its own. “Ours is a regional party. National parties have also not been able to raise their head. As the people wanted a stable government, such a result has come about. It was a blow to all political
parties. The party looked after by Karunanidhi for 40 years could not get even one seat. The results cannot be compared. The media had also supported Modi in bringing about a stable government,” he said.

When asked about his claim that he will turn into a ‘Sanyasi’ if Modi becomes the Prime Minister, he said that it is a closed chapter. “I had tried to unite the party with meetings in the state. There were attempts for a third front for seven to eight months. I had asked not to compare the state to Gujarat. Modi has asked us to leave those things. He said that he is prepared to listen to advice as a former Prime Minister,” added Gowda. He said that they had decided to work towards development of the country through mutual co-operation.

Expectations from Railway Budget:

“Seventeen years have passed after the approval of Hassan-Bangalore railway line. The work on Bangalore-Mysore two-lane is going on slowly. I hope that there may be priority for Karnataka,” added Gowda.

Uniting the Party:

Gowda said that his health has improved and he will be joining Kumaraswamy and other leaders in going around the state in places including Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Chickmagalur, Shimoga, and Coorg in order to unite the party and make it grow.

When asked about the Karnataka government, he said that it is not worth speaking about. About Netravati curve, he said, “It is too early to speak about it. Jayalalitha also is asking for Netravati water.”

Gowda said that Shantivana Nature Cure is the best and he has recovered from age-related ailments.

JD(S) district president Mohammed Kunhi, state women’s unit president Sheela Nayak, district office-bearers Sindhoo Devi, Shantivana Trust secretary B Seetharama Tholpadithaya, and chief medical official Dr Prashanth Shetty were present.

    Devegowda himself is mainly responsible for the delay of Hassan-Bangalore shortest route via: Shravana Belagola as he is trying to protect the lands of Stud farms owned by influential businessmen which is coming on this route. During his Prime Ministership he diverted the funds to Hassan-Maysore route which was originally earmarked for Hassan-Sakleshpura-Mangalore route. He is the enemy of Karavali people.

    Mr Devegowda when you visited Belthangady, atleast for a moment did you remember the ill-fated Saujanya who belongs to your own vokkaliga community ?
    Did you make inquiry with the authorities as to how far the CBI investigation has progressed in Saujanya Murder Case ?

    Stop your fekugiri again. BJP supporters or sympathizers are not unhappy or shocked as claimed by you.Whend did you become our spokesperson ??? We are all happy, optimistic and feel secure under our Modi compared to a decade of Italian rule. I am just back from India and people who voted BJP are still proud of Modi and all know very well that they will have to pay a small price for a better future. This price is not going to swiss accoutns of FekU Family unlike in previous Govts. After masking a face of constructive commenter now not don a face of spokesperson of BJP supportors state of mind to say they are shocked blah blah blah. The only shocked people after May 16th are looser frustated congis like.... which you can see inthis forum and here and there in media. Some of them are so shocked that they have showed their real face and standards in their comments. I request them instead join Nidderamiah's efforts to clean garbage in Bangalore so that they may not loose their deposits next time. Why don't Talk something about your nidderamiah's Govt if it has come out with anynew Bhaagya scheme if it has come or if new goonda case against your MLAs reported !

    All political parties and their leaders are hand in gloves with each other. Try to understand this first, they are all there for their own benefits. Why we are fighting each other? Let us praise if some political parties does any good to the society and critisize if not.

    The case of H.D.Dewa Gowda falls under the rarest of rare cases.

    1.In 1998 he d he will retire from politics if A.B Vajapayee becomes PM. Vajapayee do became PM but this man is still active in politics.

    2.His party is the only party in India which supported communal BJP in the state in 2004 despite having its name as 'SECULAR' in the bracket JD(S)

    3.He back-stabbed Yeddi in 2006 after his party winning the toss and electing to bat first in an 20-20 match and won the match by D/L method despite it is not rained.

    4.Recently he announced he will leave the state for god if MODI becomes PM but still rooming freely.

    Most of the present generation didn't even know that he was the PM of this country once upon a time.
