Former Minister KS Eshwarappa has clarified that he has not mentioned about the Bombay Boys anywhere. Addressing a press conference at the District BJP office on Wednesday, he said, I did not mention Bombay Boys at a press conference in Hubli. But there was a lot of talk in the media about the Bombay Boys. This hurt many of our friends who came to the BJP. I was hurt, too. The government came from them and I became a minister. I have spoken to the State President about the incident, he said.
We have toured 28 Lok Sabha constituencies in the state in seven teams. Lok Sabha elections, Taluk, Zilla, Gram panchayat elections were discussed. People are being informed about the delay in the implementation of the five guarantees. In our meetings held everywhere, only a few minor incidents have taken place, while elsewhere the meetings have been good, he said.
The Government is telling the story of the server for implementation of Gruha Lakshmi scheme. On rice, the Centre used to give 5 kg of rice, now they are saying that the Centre is not giving rice. All kinds of electricity rates are being hiked saying that electricity is free. The session will begin on July 3. We will not allow the House to function till the guarantee is implemented here and we will fight outside, he said.
I am pained by the statements of CT Ravi, Prathap Simha on becoming the state president. The State President has asked no one to make a statement on the issue. I have made it clear that the indiscipline of the Congress has blown to our party as well, but I have not said anything about anyone, he said.
