Bengaluru: The government’s actions are completely destroying law and order in the Dakshina Kannada and coastal regions. If instead of correcting this, the government resorts to using the police like goons, then the BJP will not sit idly with tied hands, warned BJP State President and MLA B.Y. Vijayendra.
Speaking to the media today, he said, “I discussed this issue with national leaders last night. Today, our MPs and MLAs will meet senior police officials.”
Responding to a question about the deportation of several people in Dakshina Kannada district, he said, “Once upon a time, kings ruled this country. We’ve heard of feudal lords back then. The current Congress government is running the state like those feudal lords. The Siddaramaiah-led government is running a Tughlaq-style administration that suppresses democracy.”
He continued, “Look at the shameful behavior of this Congress government in recent months. At a time when people are expressing outrage over lack of development in the state, the government is trying to cover up its failures through such incidents. It is also conspiring to insult Hindu activists.”
He alleged that during the murder of Suhas, some evil forces prevented the Home Minister from visiting Suhas’ house. He added that women were also involved in the murder of Suhas Shetty, and that this was shown on visual media. “Three to four women stood on the road, helped the murderers and traitors get into a car, and escape,” he said. “What has been done about this? Have they been arrested?” he asked.
“We no longer believe that there is an elected government or that police are maintaining law and order in our state. Meanwhile, an FIR has been filed against senior Sangh Parivar leaders. This is a conspiracy to threaten Hindu leaders and activists. Police are knocking on doors at midnight and interrogating our activists. Are we living in a democracy? Where are we?” he questioned.
Suppressing Farmers’ Rights…
He added, “The state government is tarnishing its own image by curbing farmers’ rights. It is trying to suppress the farmers’ protest over the Hemavati river water issue. The government is using police thuggery to suppress this movement.”
“Maybe one or two people threw stones – that is not acceptable. The police are a part of our state. But using such incidents as an excuse to target our activists and farmer leaders and put them behind bars is a conspiracy. This will not help suppress the Hemavati river water protest,” he asserted.
He concluded by saying, “I and other party leaders will visit the site this afternoon. This worthless Congress government is doing no development work. It cannot even provide funds for development. The collapse of law and order is due to the government’s conspiracy. This is all being done to cover up their failures,” he alleged.
“We are not big people to give advice to the state government on how to maintain law and order, but the BJP has the power to break this government’s goonda behavior and arrogance. Our workers have that strength. We will show it in the coming days,” he said in response to a question.
