Udupi,27 Apr 2013: Congress issued a statement that it’s manifesto was leaked at the process of preparing, that shows what an irresponsible party? How they can rule the state if they come back to reign? queried CM Jagdish Shettar.
Addressing the media persons here on Friday April 26, CM Jagdish reacted to the allegations of Congress that BJP copied a few issues of its manifesto.
‘It’s over a week since BJP released its manifesto, while Congress has released their manifesto just 2 days ago. We have announced rice at Re 1 per kilograms, laptops to students etc in our manifesto. Congress has copied a few significant issues from our manifesto. Besides, it has included a few programmes that are implemented by BJP led state administration,’ said CM Jagdish Shettar.
‘Gujarat CM Narendra Modi will not arrive in metro just for half-an-hour to campaign in the upcoming assembly elections. Modi is likely to join in election campaign from May 2,’ said CM Shettar.
‘I have travelled across the state and based on the peoples support, BJP is likely to come back to reign with a majority of 130 seats. KJP leaders are desperately trying to defeat BJP but in vain,’ CM Shettar expressed hope.
Dalit Sangarsh Samiti (DSS) has filed a petition in High Court questioning the state government for allocating funds for religious centers in the recent budget, while the High Court has served notice to state administration. The government will take its future course of action by discussing the issue with legal department and lawyers, said CM Shettar.
