State BJP President B S Yeddyurappa speaks at BJP's parivarthana yathra in Mudigere on Saturday.
State BJP President B S
Yeddyurappa said that the BJP will implement death sentence to rapists
within 24 hours of coming to power in Karnataka.
Speaking
at BJP's parivarthana yathra in Mudigere on Saturday, he said that the
Congress has no moral right to speak on Dr B R Ambedkar. The Congress
had conspired against Ambedkar during the election, he said. The
Congress did not even allow his memorial in Rajghat. It was with the
help of the BJP during V P Singh's tenure that Ambedkar was conferred
Bharath Ratna award, he said.
Yeddyurappa said
there has been an increase in atrocities on women after the Congress
government came to power in Karnataka. A total of 3,102 sexual assault
cases, 2534 murders, 430 kidnap and atrocities on 19,000 female students
have taken place in the state which points a finger at the failure of
the state government, he added. "The BJP is committed to the safety of
women and will frame rules to provide death sentence to rapists after
coming to power," he said.
Union Minister D V Sadananda Gowda said that Bhairapura-Shishila road has been included in Sagarmala project.
MP
Shobha Karandlaje said the Congress which ruled the country for seven
decades did not take any measures to distribute LPG to the poor. The NDA
government led by Narendra Modi implemented Ujwala scheme to distribute
LPG to the poor, she added.
Former MLA M P
Kumaraswamy said that the local MLA has failed to raise the issue of
encroachment, tiger and elephant menace. No action has been initiated to
contain the tiger and elephant menace.
MLAs C T Ravi, D N Jeevraj, MLC M K Pranesh and others were present.
