Rahul trying to become ‘martyr’: Ravi Shankar Prasad

[ad_1]
Patna: After Rahul Gandhi said that he will not apologise to anyone, BJP leader and former Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said that the Congress leader is trying to become a “martyr”.
Speaking to media persons in Patna, Prasad said: “Congress party could have obtained a stay on the decision of Surat court. They have deliberately not obtained the stay order to utilise the issue during the Karnataka assembly election. He is trying to become a martyr…”
“Rahul Gandhi did the press conference in Delhi in a well planned manner. He wants to present himself sacrificial and take benefit in the Karnataka assembly election,” the BJP leader asserted.
“The Congress party has a number of prominent lawyers. Why they did not obtain the stay. Today, Rahul Gandhi has again told a lie that he had not said anything in London… When his party wins election, Rahul Gandhi thinks the Election Commission is genuine and when he loses, the Election Commission becomes bad,” Prasad said.

TN Min lashes out at Governor Ravi over Raj Bhavan remarks on jawan’s killing

[ad_1]
Chennai: Tamil Nadu Minister K Ponmudy on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on R N Ravi over the Raj Bhavan’s remarks on the killing of an army jawan and also over the Governor’s comments about Karl Marx.
Ponmudy, the State Higher Education Minister, took exception to the Raj Bhavan making remarks on the jawan killing with a “political viewpoint.”
Lance Naik M Prabhu of Krishnagiri district was earlier attacked by a DMK councillor and some others and he succumbed to the injuries, and the Raj Bhavan had on Tuesday put out a tweet on its official Twitter handle saying the killing was a matter of “serious concern.”
While the state police was firmly dealing the matter legally (the DMK councillor has been arrested), “one has to consider that putting out Twitter messages on the Raj Bhavan’s official handle with a political viewpoint is nothing but a mischievous act,” Ponmudy said in a statement.
He said Prabhu was killed in a domestic dispute but the BJP was making it an issue for “media publicity.”
The protest by some ex-servicemen here on Tuesday, with the support of the BJP’s state unit was part of this where some of the former army men made objectionable remarks, Ponmudy alleged.
While the Raj Bhavan had highlighted the meeting of the ex-servicemen with the Governor and their plea on Twitter, “when will it reveal the status of the Assembly bill banning online gambling,” he asked.
The bill was reflective of the united voice of the people of the State, he added.

Referring to Ravi’s criticism on Karl Marx, Ponmudy said Marx’s communism proposed equality and argued against discrimination of any kind and that this would certainly be a “bitter pill” for many.
Ravi was “behaving like a child” in a Constitutional post and this amounts to “insulting” the Constitution.
He should stop putting out social media messages like a politician and focus on his work, the Minister added.
He also recalled the recent controversy surrounding the Tamil Nadu vs Tamizhagam name debate triggered by Ravi and referred to the public outcry, even as he charged the Governor with repeatedly making remarks not conforming to the Constitution and its provisions.

Karnataka: BJP’s CT Ravi accuses Congress of doing ‘politics’ over Tipu Sultan

[ad_1]
Bengaluru: Controversy over Tipu Sultan, the ruler of the erstwhile kingdom of Mysore, is refusing to die down with BJP National General Secretary CT Ravi accusing the opposition Congress of doing politics on the policies of the 18th-century warrior.
“Congress is doing politics on the policies of Tipu Sultan. We are doing politics on the policies of Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar,” BJP National General Secretary CT Ravi told ANI.
“There is a huge difference between them. Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar means development,” Ravi added.
Last year, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai had said that the people of the State wouldn’t forgive Congress leaders for displaying a soft corner for terrorists and for talking about Tipu Sultan in order to appease the minority vote bank. The CM had made the remarks while addressing a Jan Sankalp Yatra that was attended by former Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa, in Pandavapura.
Leaders of Congress and BJP are engaged in a sort of war of words over Tipu Sultan who is being accused by certain outfits of killing Hindus.
In December last year, former chief minister Siddaramaiah hit out at BJP alleging the party of doing petty politics over the celebration of Tipu Sultan Jayanti.
“The people of the state are now convinced that the controversy and riots created by the BJP and the Sangh Parivar in the last few years, on the pretext of Tipu Sultan Jayanti celebrations, are politically motivated,” Siddaramaiah had alleged earlier.
Karnataka’s Bharatiya Janata President (BJP) Nalin Kumar Kateel on Wednesday stroked a controversy by saying that the upcoming assembly election in Karnataka is all “about Tipu vs Savarkar.”

Addressing the people on Wednesday, BJP state President Nalin Kumar Kateel said, “This (Assembly) election is all about Tipu vs Savarkar. They (Cong) allowed celebrating Tipu Jayanti which was not required and spoke disgracefully about Savarkar. I challenge Siddaramaiah to discuss if our country needs a patriotic like Savarkar or Tipu.”
Meanwhile, BJP state president Kateel also challenged Siddaramaiah to debate on who is important for the state, Tipu or Savarkar.
“People need to understand if they need a patriotic like Savarkar or Tipu,” BJP state President Nalin Kumar Kateel said earlier in the month.
Karnataka is set to hold Assembly elections later this year to elect all 224 members of the Legislative Assembly.

BBC documentary on PM Modi is “international conspiracy”: BJP leader CT Ravi

[ad_1]
Bengaluru: BJP national general secretary CT Ravi on Saturday condemned BBC for misleading the audience with its documentary ‘The Modi Question’ and called it an “international conspiracy”.
While speaking at a press conference in Bengaluru, the BJP leader accused BBC of presenting incomplete information in the documentary.
“The BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi is nothing but an international conspiracy. After the 2002 riots, BJP won more than five times in Gujarat and a second time in the centre. He is a world-known and popular leader,” he said.
He stated that the documentary did not cover the Nanavati report which concluded that the Gujarat riots were devoid of any conspiracy.
Targeting the anti-government elements, he said that the documentary is a propaganda of the people who despise the Modi-led government.
He further exclaimed that the people should trust the verdict of the Supreme court which gave a clean chit to PM Modi and not the BBC documentary and English people who plundered India during the British rule.
“With ‘Anti-Modi gangs interviews’ BBC did not show the Nanavati report. Even SC in January 2022 order gave a clean chit and rejected the plea. What is the agenda for making such documentaries? Those who do not like the development of India, the anti-Modi gang and the frustrated lost parties created the conspiracy through the BBC documentary,” he said.
The general secretary slammed Congress and alleged the party’s link with the documentary.

He questioned BBC’s decision to make the documentary about the Gujarat riots 20 years after the incident and stated that the BJP has overcome such false narratives, while also mentioning that the documentary could have been made by presenting all the truthful facts.
“BBC interviewed only anti-modi people and did not consider the SC’s order. This is an agenda to create a bad image of the country and the PM,” he said.
Earlier, this month, the government denounced the BBC series ‘The Modi Question’, calling it a “propaganda piece designed to push a discredited narrative”.
The government also pulled down the series from various social media platforms, including Twitter and Youtube.
