Mangalore: Get Ready to Retire from Politics says C T Ravi to Poojary
Daijiworld Media Network – Mangalore (SP)
Mangalore, Apr 8: Relating to a statement made by former union minister, B Janardan Poojary, that he would retire from politics if BJP candidates win all the three assembly seats that are going to the bypoll, MLA andBJP state general secretary, C T Ravi, felt that the only option left for Poojary now is to relinquish all political activities.
Addressing a press conference here on Thursday April 7, Ravi asked Poojary to mentally be prepared to accept defeat. He stressed that BJP candidates will come out victorious in all the three constituencies.
“BJP supports the fast unto death agitation launched by Anna Hazare, demanding passage of Lok Pal bill. BJP never accepts corruption in any form. By criticizing Hazare, Congress spokesperson, Manish Tiwary, has laid bare the mindset of Congress party. Congress gets credit for giving birth to corruption and nursing it since the last 42 years. Ironically, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president, Parameshwar, too has criticized Hazare,” Ravi added.
Ravi demanded for moving of the Lok Pal bill in its entirety, with sweeping powers. He wanted it not be like a toothless serpent that can only hiss. “The bill should be able to punish the guilty and create awareness against corruption. Karnataka is the first state in the country to give additional powers to Lokayukta,” he claimed.
