Chikkamagaluru: BJP National General Secretary C. T. Ravi has said that the party will seek votes in this election on the basis of the “frauds and corruption” committed by the Congress on the issue of reservation.
He was speaking at a media interaction organised at Chikkamagaluru Press Club. The Congressmen counted to increase the reservation. We have acted in accordance with the faith. We have increased the reservation for Scheduled Castes from 15 per cent to 17 per cent, he said.
We have shown our commitment by increasing the Scheduled Tribe reservation from 3 per cent to 7 per cent,” he said. The internal reservation was a challenging one, with the Chief Minister taking a historic step in the manner of hitting a six off the last ball of the last over, he noted.
“The demand for internal reservation was a two-and-a-half-decade-old demand which has been fulfilled. We will put it before the people,” he said. Moreover, how did Congressmen make Karnataka an ATM? Rs. 8000 Crore in The Arkavathy scam. The Kempanna Commission, appointed by the Congress Government itself, has given its report that the Government has suffered losses, he added.
“We will tell the people who is responsible for this loss, how they indulged in corruption in issues like bed, pillow, sand, minor irrigation, heavy irrigation department scams, and what is the story of MLC Govinda Raju’s diary, how he cheated Karnataka.”
“In addition to this, how the alliance of Congressmen with SDPI and PFI has damaged the law and order of the country. We are going to tell people that the nexus between the Congress and communal organisations is also against the national interest,” he said.
We will keep clear data on how the people of Karnataka have benefited from the double engine Government. The Centre has allocated Rs. 5,300 Crore for the Mysuru – Bengaluru National Highway, and Upper Bhadra project,” he said.
He said people also know that highway, rail projects, Mahadai projects have been approved and all this has been made possible with the coordination of the double engine Government.
