Hubballi: This is Siddaramaiah's last Diwali as chief minister, says Prahlad Joshi


Daijiworld Media Network - Hubballi

Hubballi, Oct 20: BJP MP and former state president of the party Prahlad Joshi on Friday October 20 predicted that this would be Siddaramaiah's 'last Diwali' as chief minister. He also said that if the BJP comes to power in the state in the 2018 Assembly polls, it would scrap Tipu Jayanti.

Speaking to reporters here, Joshi said, "The corrupt Congress government has not achieved anything noteworthy. It has taken up 'Mane Manege Congress' campaign to show people things that it has not actually achieved. This is definitely going to be Siddaramaiah's last Diwali as CM.

"In the name of 'Mane Manege Congress', the corrupt state government is looting the taxpayers' money. The government is holding Congress conventions without giving any assurances to the public," he said.

"If the BJP comes to power in the state in the upcoming Assembly elections, we will first scrap Tipu Jayanti celebration. We are against Tipu Jayanti. The Congress government is however hell bent on celebrating it.

"Tipu Sultan was against Kannada language and culture. We cannot tolerate the celebration of such a person. We will ban Tipu Jayanti if we come to power," Joshi stressed.

Commenting on the allegations of corruption levelled against him by Samaj Parivartana Samudaya founder president S R Hiremath, against whom Joshi filed a defamation case, he said, "I welcome criticism in politics, but I will never accept such baseless allegations of corruption against me. Maybe others can tolerate if Hiremath makes such allegations against them, but I cannot. That is why I cannot accept these allegations. He has been penalized for not appearing in the court. He should therefore admit that he is wrong. Why should I face such allegations when I have not done anything wrong?"

    Mr. Joshi, should ask his erstwhile PM to order an inquiry into junior Shah's corruption. Remember those days when he used to call the ex prime minister Mr. Manmohan Singh as "Moun Mohan Singh" what happened now why this "Moun" Mr. Modi. Are you waiting for all agencies to clear all evidence before calling for an investigation, just like you did in Vyapan case where all witnesses are dying mysteriously. Mr. Joshi kindly ask your PM to air this in his next Maan ki baat or even this is one jumla like fifteen lakhs in everyone's account.

    Yeddy celebrated only 3 Diwalis out of 5 . Other 2 diwalis celebrated by 2 more CMs. Mr Joshi decide who is better ? Don't day dream of coming in to power . Congress is much stronger in Karnataka now. BJP cant win the election under Gujarat model . No sympathy votes too like earlier HDK didn't him become CM during coalition Govt. Only option is Hindutva politics but chances are less.

    Finally Joshi understood that a government has a term which will end after every 5 years... This Diwali being at the end of the term, it is obvious that this will be last Diwali for this CM. What is great about it. But the expression indicates how poor understanding this fellow got..

    (Un)Fortunately he didn't offer to hang himself ! These BIG JOKERS come up with ideas that only
    witches can explain.
    Let the people decide - if one BJP Fake Leader decides hang or starve its like cleaning the swamp!

    Lets clean the swamp - unless YOU like Yeddi to come back to hoard more money, we can only
    guess how BJP would have reacted if Siddhu stole and amassed so much?

    This fellow has done nothing worthwhile to talk about so he tears apart our beloved CM because he
    knows he is the CM and that he respects and represents all Kannadigas - hindu, Muslim, Christian
    Upper class, lower class and every Caste.

    This corrupt 3478MP just made Siddhu our next CM!

    Thank you!

    Who are you to decide? Wait the people of Karnataka decide who is going be the next CM. People will vote siddu not because of his achievements, but because of Modi govt’s failure in all sectors. Even in gujrat people are against bjp policies. The merchants are waiting to teach a lesson to modi.

    Look at the highlights of his speech:
    "The government is holding Congress conventions without giving any assurances to the public"
    - After 2014 LS polls, does this man really believe that people still fall for Jumlas?
    "We will ban Tipu Jayanti if we come to power,"
    - Is that all he has to offer for the development of state?

    BJP should develop moral conduct on how to speak in the public platform.Sidharamaiyyaji is most respected person in india.No other state is as developed as ours practically So stop getting jealous.

    NEVER EXPECTED THIS FROM BJP ,THAT ON YOUR AUSPICIOUS FESTIVAL DAY YOU WOULD STAB VERBALLY ON OUR CM.GET SOME MINT TEA AND RELAX.

    Siddus development highlight is Indira canteen, the letting poinous gas leaking at banglaore lakes spreading deseasss slowly, 1 rs rice while the farmer suicide goes unabated. And taking loan of over 2lak crore, almost 20 times more then prev govts, all going into ditch and state slipping towards bankrupty.. Alas, hell with economics.. lets hail the king...LOL
