Mangalore, June 26: Chikmagalur MLA?C?T?Ravi said that the greatest fear of Mahatma Gandhi that Congress will ruin the country has come true because it is Congress, which sow the seed of corruption in Indian soil, nurtured it and is reaping personal gains from it.

Addressing the gathering during BJP's Jana Sangharsh Abhiyan at Sanghaniketan on Saturday, Ravi said that after Independence, Mahatma Gandhiji had openly told that National Congress must be dissolved after Independence because the purpose for which Congress was formed was over once the country attained independence. He feared that if the National Congress existed further, it would lose its identity as a platform for freedom struggle and get transformed into a political party. He thought people would soon misuse it.

“Time to time Congress leaders misused the name of Congress claiming themselves to be the inherited custodians of our Independence,”?said Ravi adding that Gandhiji had asked the members to form their own parties if they wished. “While the honest lot broke out of Congress and plunged into social reformation after independence, Nehru who disliked the view of Gandhiji clung on to Congress with his followers and the rest is evident,”?said Ravi.

Listing out scams from Jeep scam (1948) to Nagarwala Finance Scam, Maruti Udyog scam, Bofors to Harshad Mehta scam, Gold Star to JMM?scam, Telgi, Common Weath games to Yes Bank and 2G?scam, Ravi said that all of these scams and people involved in these scams are not the BJP members. They are all either Congress leaders or those linked with Congress.

“Moghuls and British looted us in the past. Now Congress is continuing what they did,” said Ravi adding that amidst all the hue and cry over Jan Lokpal Bill, Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul have not uttered a word so far.

“If the Lokpal bill is introduced, Congress leaders will be behind bars and Congress will lose its face,”?said Ravi adding that Congress knows it very well that if the entire list of people having Swiss accounts is exposed, Congress will be doomed and people will reject the umpteen number of parks, roads, circles and centres named after Nehru, Indira and Rajiv. Ravi further said that if the alleged Rs 16 trillion dollar stocked in Swiss Bank comes to India, the country can be run without taxes for 30 years, poor can be given free ration for 37 years, Rs four crore can be distributed to every village in the country and four-lanes can be laid from every taluk head quarters to national capital.

He called upon the people to start another freedom struggle to wipe out corruption that has been nurtured by Congress over decades.

MP Nalin Kumar Kateel has opined that barring Lal Bahadur Shastry, all other Prime Minister of the country during Congress rule were corrupt.

Kateel said that Congress is continuing the British Raj in India, post independence through its anti-people policies and Sonia Gandhi is continuing dictatorial rule of Indira Gandhi. Assembly Deputy Speaker N?Yogish Bhat and others were present.

Bengaluru: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Sunday criticised the Union Budget presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, claiming it offered no tangible benefit to the state.

Though he said he was yet to study the budget in detail, Shivakumar asserted that Karnataka had gained little from it. “There is no benefit for our state from the central budget. I was observing it. They have now named a programme after Mahatma Gandhi, after repealing the MGNREGA Act that was named after him,” he said.

Speaking to reporters here, the Deputy Chief Minister demanded the restoration of MGNREGA, and made it clear that the newly enacted rural employment scheme — VB-G RAM G — which proposes a 60:40 fund-sharing formula between the Centre and the states, would not be implemented in Karnataka.

“I don’t see any major share for our state in this budget,” he added.

Shivakumar, who also holds charge of Bengaluru development, said there were high expectations for the city from the Union Budget. “The Prime Minister calls Bengaluru a ‘global city’, but what has the Centre done for it?” he asked.

He also drew attention to the problems faced by sugar factories, particularly those in the cooperative sector, alleging a lack of timely decisions and support from the central government.

Noting that the Centre has the authority to fix the minimum support price (MSP) for agricultural produce, Shivakumar said the Union government must take concrete steps to protect farmers’ interests.

The coastal city of Mangaluru is gearing up for a major sporting milestone with the launch of a Golf Excellence Academy at the Pilikula Golf Club (PGC), scheduled to open on May 31. The initiative aims to position Mangaluru firmly on India’s national golfing map.

Speaking to reporters on Saturday during PGC’s first-ever floodlit Pro-Am tournament, club captain Manoj Kumar Shetty said the project is being funded by UAE-based philanthropist Michael D’Souza and is currently in the design phase. Experts from leading golf academies across the country are expected to visit Mangaluru to help shape the training programme and infrastructure.

The academy will train 20 young golfers at a time, with a long-term vision of producing national-level players from the region. Until now, PGC relied on an in-house coach, but the recent renovation of the course and the introduction of floodlights have opened new possibilities for expanding the sport.

Shetty said discussions are underway with two reputed coaching academies, whose heads are expected to visit PGC shortly. “A dormitory for trainers is already under construction. We are inviting academies to assess the facilities and suggest changes so we can build a truly world-class Golf Excellence Academy,” he said.

Professional golfer Aryan Roopa Anand noted that the floodlit course would be a game-changer for young players. “Students can now practise after school hours, even up to 8 or 9 pm, without compromising on academics,” he said.
