Mangalore, May 2,2013: “Congress challenged me and I came, whatever they predict  goes wrong; they said I will not  come and I came, they are saying that BJP will not  gain victory, but  we will,” said Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.

Addressing a public meet held as a part of BJP’s publicity campaign  at Nehru Maidan on May 2, Thursday, he debunked the claims of the Congress leaders that theirs was a poor man’s party. After seeing the BJP rule in Karnataka  and its  efforts for the welfare of the poor, the people have come to the conclusion that Congress was no longer a  poor man’s party, said Modi.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“It is the duty of Karnataka voters to demand a report from the BJP government  on the achievements made and developmental works done. At the same time, it is also the duty of the people of India to ask a similar report from the Union government,” Modi said and at the same time remarked “How can the Centre give a report when there has been no achievement?”Modi said that people must cast their vote on the basis of the work done by the political parties.

Commenting on Rahul Gandhi, he said that Mr Golden Spoon visits places campaigning for Congress,by  concealing several allegations in his pocket. “People of the country are not fools. They will not get cheated by  the fake dimple smile,” he said.

He said Karnataka which witnessed a spate of communal violence, riots and curfews during the Congress regime, has  been a peaceful state during the BJP rule. He charged the Congress of pursuing a divide and rule policy through vote bank politics.” Now, it is upto the people of Karnataka to  decide whether they have to accept vote bank policy or support BJP’s Vikas for the development of the society,” Modi said.

 “Congress has assured people to permit cow slaughter in exchange of  votes.  The cattle of the country are being exported to foreign countries, but the central government is silent. The cattle slaughter and smuggling has resulted in shortage of fertilizers  and people are   left with no option but to go in for chemical fertilizers, he added.

“ Congress has started a secret agenda called Pink revolution. People have heard about green and white revolution but Pink is the symbol of meat of cow which is slaughtered and exported,” Modi said. To Congress goes the credit of introducing ‘Cattle Smuggling’ in the country,  he further added.

Modi said  Gujarat has been purchasing areca from the region in large quantities at support price consequent upon an appeal by local leaders in the backdrop of  huge losses suffered by growers.

Former CM  D.V .Sadananda Gowda, former minister Krishna J Palemar and District BJP President  Padmanabha Kottary felicitated Modi with Rajasthani Peta, idol of Swamy Vivekananda, garland and shawl. 

D.V .Sadananda Gowda said that BJP has accepted the challenge of Congress leaders by organizing Modi programme in Nehru Maidan. Further voters must challenge them by casting their vote to BJP, he said.

Udupi District In-Charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojary said that the  BJP has contributed various development projects for the poor people.  Through the Bhagyalakshmi Project, the government is taking care of the girl child right from birth upto 18 years, he said. So far 17 lakh girl children  have benefitted by the Bhagyalaskhmi project, he said and added this would ensure the votes of  17 lakh people for BJP.

BJP District General Secretary Devdas Shetty welcomed the gathering. BJP leaders N Yogish Bhat, MP Nalin Kumar, Sunil Kumar, Prathap  Simha Nayak , Sulochana Bhat, S Angara, Umanath Kotian, Rajesh Naik, Sanjeev Matandoor, Uday Kumar, Nagaraj Shetty  and others were present on the dais.
