Mangaluru, Jan 2: BJP state president and Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel said, “We are just 100 days away from the assembly elections and we need to prepare for it. After travelling all over the state as the president of the BJP, I am confident that our party will gain more than 150 seats in the state and will clean sweep Dakshina Kannada (DK) district as well. The BJP’s aim to have permanent victory is for transformation and developing ‘New India’. After Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi came to power, India has transformed tremendously. Places like Kashi, Badrinath and Kashmir have transformed. Awarding Padma Shri to Harekala Hajabba and Mahalinga Naik is one such example for transformation in the country. We need to achieve permanent victory to have such transformation in India.”

He was speaking after inaugurating Booth Vijaya Abhiyana on Monday January 2 at TV Raman Pai hall. Booth Vijaya Abhiyana will be held from January 2 to 12.

Nalin further said, “Congress leaders Siddaramaiah, D K Shivakumar and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge have started stitching shirts assuming that Congress will come to power. Competition has also started in Dakshina Kannada where three leaders namely U T Khader, Ramanath Rai and J R Lobo have started stitching shirts to take oath assuming that they will become ministers. The Congress need not worry as BJP will be in power for the next 15 years. In the coming days, not a single Hindu will work for Congress.

“The booth committee needs to be reviewed in the next 10 days, page pramukh needs to be strengthened, form WhatsApp group of the booth, hoist BJP flag is every house, booth committee meeting should be held, and corporators should relentlessly work for the next 3 months with one vision of acquiring more number of votes than before.

“During the Congress government, it was very difficult to hoist the Indian flag in Kashmir. PM Modi gave a befitting reply and today flag is hoisted in Kashmir. Our national flag got its due respect when students were airlifted from warzone are at Ukraine too.

“When Shivakumar became the Congress state president, the party got divided into three and when I became the state president of the BJP, the party became one. While the Congress continuously raised slogans like ‘Garibi Hatao’, it was PM Modi who actually eradicated poverty. In the last one year, several people-friendly schemes were introduced. The Congress turned into three groups, they raised slogans against our government claiming it as a ‘40% government’ and also ran the ‘PayCM’ campaign. So far, not even a single complaint is filed. Siddaramaiah will definitely go to jail before elections and his scams will be revealed. Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah are the most corrupt, the Congress is 100% corrupt, and the Congress is a synonym to corruption. It is the father of corruption.

“If Congress comes to power, the ban on PFI and KFD will be definitely withdrawn. PFI and KFD leaders will roam on the streets and enter into our houses. Leaders like Vedavyas Kamath, Harikrishna Bantwal and Monappa Bhandary will not been alive, they will also withdraw the law against conversion and cow-slaughter. The BJP is the party which will bring law for love Jihad. If Congress come to power, they will surely withdraw such laws.

“The NIA and DIG termed the cooker blast incident as an act of terrorism while the Congress favoured terrorism which clearly shows that the Congress belongs to terrorist party.

“Under Modi, Mangaluru has seen transformation with Smart City. The BJP will come to power with more than 150 seats and Khader will be sent home this time,” he said.

Nalin also asked party workers not to discuss about roads and drainage with the voters but to discuss that the BJP government will bring law against love jihad. He also asked to promote BJP through Yakshagana as well as election is just 100 days away. 

MLA Vedavyas Kamath, district BJP president Sudarshan Moodbidri, MLC Prathap Simha Nayak and others were present.
