Bangalore blast will help BJP in election: Congress


New Delhi, April 17 (IANS) : The explosion near Karnataka's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) office will help the party in next month's assembly elections, Congress leader Shakeel Ahmad said Wednesday.

"If the blast near BJP's office in Banglore is a terror attack, it will certainly help the BJP politically on the eve of election," Ahmad said on Twitter. The election will be held May 5.

His remarks were criticised by the BJP as unwarranted and uncalled for.
"Such remarks are uncalled for and should not have come from a senior Congress leader. The party (Congress) has already accepted defeat in Karnataka," said BJP spokesperson Meenakshi Lekhi.

Sixteen people were injured, two of them seriously, in the explosion in crowded residential locality of Malleshwaram in north Bangalore.

    Mr. Shakeel Ahmad, can you please explain how will BJP benefit from this blast? Is it somewhat like this?:
    BJP: Is mein Kangress ka haath hai.
    Cong: Yeh ilzam sarasar be-buniyad hai. Hamare khilaf saazish hai. Hamara haath tho janta ke saat tha, janta ke saat hai and hamesha janta ke saat hi rahega.
    BJP: Saazish tho Kangress kar chuki hai. Chunav mein hamein hara nahin sakti isliye visfot karke, dara-dhamkake hamein chup karana chahati hai. Hamesha janta ka saath humne diya hai, yahan tak ki hamare party ka naam bhi hamne Bharatiya Janata Party rakha hai, yeh aap hi logon ki party hai.

    I think this is high time to think of a compulsory 'Induction Course' those who want to join politics. In other words politics should be d as a profession and the eligibility should be based on the qualification. 'Foot in the mouth' syndrome of the politicians must stop. See Ajit Pawar, yesterday there was a BJP minister from Madhya Pradesh - Vijay Shah. Shameless morons

    "NIA should investigate Shakeel Ahmad. -He never used twitter before ! -How come he started tweeting on Bangalore Blasts? Was he sitting in front of the computer and waiting for the information to reach him so that he can tweet? His complicity in the blast is suspected and should be investigated. -More-over, 26/11 Mumbai attacks were done by ISI and congress combined for which FBI never allowed CBI to question Headly. After the Mumbai attack, Congress won ! So they are trying the same in Karnataka !''

    These sort of IRRESPONSIBLE statements issued by PSEUDO SECULARS like Shakeel Ahmed is what sparks Communal discord in our country. Congress High Command should initiate stringent action on this guy...Plus this is blatant misuse of social media - Back home similar vulgur comments issued by Siddaramaiah..by doing this, they are stooping themselves to a new low...

    Instead of calling for a serious investigation, a senior leader like him making a stupid and shameful statement like this shows how mean these politicians are. No concern for the people who suffered in this blast, I wish his family was present there during the blast! Then only he would have spoken some sense.

    Yes, you are right. When people (like you) will understand that statement like this and one from shankar, kundapur will further polarize the society and BJP will benefit? What is the point in scoring self goal, my friends? Stop politicizing terror. Punish the perpetrators as quickly as possible
