Cong will Scrap Cow Slaughter Act if Elected - Motamma


‘Cong will Scrap Cow Slaughter Act if Elected’

Chikmagalur, Apr 1 (DHNS) : MLC and Opposition Leader Motamma has said that the Prohibition of Cow Slaughter Act of the State Government will be withdrawn if Congress comes to power once again in the State. 

Addressing a news conference on Wednesday, she said that an Act prohibiting slaughter of healthy cattle has been in force since many years and it is sufficient if this existing Act is implemented efficiently.

“State Government has brought in this Act only with the aim of appeasing a particular organisation. With this, the poor have lost a source of healthy, affordable food. Leather industry is also feeling the pinch,” she said.

She held poor way of functioning of Government responsible for the people opting to stay away from polls during BBMP election. She said that if Government brings in mandate on voting, Congress will back it.

Speaking about the attack on Bellary based businessman Tapal Ganesh, she said that people have lost faith on this Government.

“People of Bellary are literally experiencing hell. The State Government has no power to control atrocities. The CM is only making statements on Inquiry but he is not uttering a word about action against such a crime. It is better CM resigns and goes back home rather than expressing helplessness always,” she ridiculed.

She alleged the State Government of failing to provide homes to the flood victims of North Karnataka.

“Another rainy season is approaching but houses are not yet ready. If Matha Amruthanandamayi Math can build houses, why can’t the Government,” she questioned and added that Rs 1,945 crore has been provided by the centre for rehabilitation of flood victims of North Karnataka but State Government has set aside Rs 350 crore from the said fund for providing infrastructure in rehabilitated villages. “Provide proper shelter to the victims first,” she said.

 “The Government should stop distributing funds to Maths and temples. Further, a guideline must be issued to all the religious centres, which have been given government funds as to how the funds must be spent,” she said.

District Congress President M L Murthy, Spokesperson A N Mahesh were present.

From pettaa Kanji period up to the last election (JP Hegde) my family votes for congress, but now on for any election, I support and ask the family members (at least 50 to 100) to support only BJP.

    This Yeddy minister is purely communal mind.If he don't like minorities, atleast take care of majority who are 80% of population they have problems like Food,Sheltor,Medication, Employment,Education, Emergency Health care service with few mintues in case of accidents, Good Transportaion Systems,Majority of them are farmers help them to get daily Wheat Bread..think about them.If you think, minorities doesn't make any difference that's okay for time being, you are not going to be CM for ever, when somebody new comes they will EQUALLY take care of all one day.

    I don't agree with what Resp. Motamma has told to the media. This reason of scrapping the CSA (Cow slaughter act) is just a reason for her vote bank. Why should she want congress to come to power, only to take out this ACT. she as well do that without coming to power by holding dharna's or Sathyagraha. I think BJP has considerably done a lot to the state. unlike the JDU who was in power previously. Mr. SM krishna (Cong)could be regarded as sculptor of bangalore as he opened up the doors for various oppurtunities. But i feel when we have a right to vote we should vote sensibly regardless of the Group he/She belongs to and not here to these ppl as they are always busy pulling each others legs ... Just to Come To Power ...!

    Dear congress. You do not need to come to power to scrap banning. You could have done while in opposition. You as a opposition party has done not upto what you can. As regard to slaughtering public will slaughter the cows no matter what act in place and we will eat beef in karnatka. Nothing to worry.

    BJP isw appeasing one particular sectio n of hindu community by enacting cow slaughter ban. Majority of hindus are beef eaters. Motamma is not appeasing minorities. But the fact is that its vote bank politics by congress. Motamma is playing "beef" card not for the welfare of beef eaters , but for selfish goal of vote bank. She wants to kill two birds in one shot. As long as her statement doesnt contain venom, doesnt devide, is in the interest of majority of population, one has to support her. So in this instance I fully endorse her view and support her.

    Motamma is a very respectable Politician. What she has mentioned is sensible and I am sure the sentiments of the general public will prevail. Eating beef is a petty matter. If not in Karnataka, the beef is consumed highest in the world on daily basis.The need of the hour is clean unbiased government who can serve to the need of the people. we need a gvernment who can give the public a peaceful living and good infrastructure such as Good Roads and Sanitaion for economic development.Democratic Country like India we need Strong Secular Party like Congress to continue and make India Super power in the world.

    We need schools, colleges,research centres, industries,modern technology to develop & not mutts,dargas, churches or temples, which get as donations(kanike) hard earned money of all the section of people & are more prosperous than any organisations. Culture, religion & tradition needs them most than development of state or country.
    All subsidies including haj,kerosene,diesel,gas has to be removed to stop their overuse & dependence on foreign crude, like Nagesh maam had commented before.

Even though BJP came to Power. Also about "It is better CM resigns and goes back home" People will decide whom to sit at home like how they decided in last election. Now most of the Congress leaders are doing the same. If not the people ur own party dump them as u have many leaders waiting for CM Post.

    Nagesh Maamu,

    First of all you are not aware of the facts.

    Yeddi is the First person in the History to grant funds for development of Durgahs and Shadi Mahaals (Go through the Budget Details).

    This is being done to ensure he gets sympathy and votes from Minorities.

    Rightly said, "HE SHOULD POUR IN MORE MONEY FOR TEMPLES & MUTTS" that is what Yeddi and his Gang is doing at the moment looting public money and people like you are cherishing and rejoicing stating its "DEVELOPMENT"

    Your main objective is to blame Congress, irrespective of any issue. Mottammaji we salute you for your brave decision.

    Jai Ho

    Nagesh Nayak,

    Now stop cribbing about Haj Subsidy because Yeddy allocated certain crores of rupees in the budget for 'pilgrims resting arrangements' in distant temples like 'Tirupati' and 'Kaashi'. If non-hindus to oppose, this too is a reason enough but nobody says a word. Now, you tell me, how many take advantage of this facility ? All pilgrims got to spend from their own pocket. You tell me, where did the money go then ?

    I don't want Motamma's enticement for my vote but I would support a govt. that creates an environment for all communities to co-exist but BJP has hurt me terribly first by communal disturbances in Mangalore and secondly by this one-side-favouring bill.
