Mysuru: Mysuru Kodagu MP Pratap Simha has ridiculed the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ which was started by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and advised to look at how Prime Minister Narendra Modi united the country.
Speaking to mediapersons here on Friday September 30 he said, “This is not a journey to unite India, but a journey to break India and the journey started with a visit to Christian preacher Pastor as both believes that Jesus is the only God which proved the purpose of Yatra. He said to visit Malai Mahadeshwar Temple. See the development in Chamarajanagara District. BJP MP Pratap Singh has advised the Congress leaders to look at the Ring Road and Mysuru Airport.”
He said that Chamarajanagara was said to be a backward District. But now look at the development there. Do the yatra again after five years. Don’t come by bus, come by jet. When you come to Mysuru, leave the pastor aside and bow down to Chamundi. Take part in Dasara. He quipped that look at the Mysore-Bangalore highway constructed by Modi.
Commenting on Siddaramaiah’s statement that RSS should be banned in India, he said, Siddaramaiah, who does not know how to use Aadhaar, PAN card or smartphone, portrays himself as an economist. He said Siddu criticised Indira Gandhi and Nehru in his 40 years of politics. Now, he calls the son of the same family a prince. Siddaramaiah does not have firm faith in himself. He has no own opinion.
Commenting on Rahul Gandhi meeting the family members of those who died in the Chamarajnagara oxygen disaster, he said it was an act of betrayal. It was the Congress leaders who boarded the accused responsible for the Bhopal gas disaster. Now, they are visiting the families of those who died in the oxygen disaster.
