BENGALURU, APRIL 21: – Union Minister for HRD, Mr. Prakash Javadekar has said Bharatiya Janata Party is all set to win State Assembly elections with absolute majority. Addressing a Media Conference here today he said Congress lost power in 12 states and BJP won 11 of them. The people of India were against Congress because of its corruption, divisive and sectarian politics. In Karnataka too, BJP’s winning streak would continue as there had been anti-incumbency wave against Congress regime. Referring to Congress election in-charge, Sri K. C. Venugopal’s statement that the party would retain power with 130 seats,Mr. Javadekar said the Congress would not even cross 50-seat mark. The Congress leader were free to have daydreaming, he quipped. He said Chief Minister, Mr.i Siddaramaiah himself was not sure of his victory in his home constituency and he was trying to find a safe seat. Senior Congress leaders including Mr. Ambarish, were hesitant to contest on party ticket. Prime Minister, Mr. Naredra Modi had proved that he was messiah of developments. Also,Mr. Yeddyurappa had a track record of development. So this time, the Union Minister said, it would be “Vikasada Haadi – Yedyurappa Modi” slogan (Modi and Yedyurappa to take Karnataka on developmental path). Mr. Javadekar said the increasing number of suicides by farmers in Karnataka reflected the Congress regime in poor light. Compared to Karnataka, the BJP ruled states reported minimum number of farmers suicide. The BJP led NDA Government had come to the rescue of farmers by launching “Fasal Bhima” scheme. However, the Congress regime failed to take the benefits of the scheme to farming community in Karnataka. The Union Minister said the law and order situation had been in its lowest web in Karnataka. The common people were living in fear as the criminals had free run. The Congress regime had been punishing the law-abiding officials, and even few of them resorted to an extreme step of ending their lives. Why no one was arrested so far though many of Hindu activists were assassinated? The anti-national elements had homely feeling whenever and wherever Congress was in power. He said more than 70 corruption cases had been pending with Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) but there had been attempts to hush up them. The price of a truck load of sand was Rs. 17,000 whenMr. Yeddyurappa was in power but the price had now been increased to Rs. 70,000. It showed the Congress regime was hand in glove with Sand Mafia he charged.
