Mangalore, April 21: Speaking to media persons in the press meet held at Congress party’s election office on April 19, Friday, Poojary said in his speech that people in the state have fed up with BJP’s five year’s misrule, corruption and tainted ministers.

Criticizing BJP, he said BJP’s manifesto released on April 19,Friday in Bangalore was baseless with false assurances and BJP will lead the state to ‘Vinasha’( destruction) not ‘Vikasa’ (Development) and voters cannot be fooled by such assurances. People know them very well and the rampant corruption unleashed in the past five years, he told.
Their assurance of providing rice at Rs one rupee is nonsense as the previous manifesto had not materialized, he added.
He said that BJP, a party with difference created corrupt leaders and now it is a heaven for all types of people involved in nefarious activities, he charged.
Poojary brushed aside the allegation of BJP candidate N.Yogish Bhat’s allegation against congress candidate JR Lobo that latter did not mention a Lokayukta case in the affidavit.
Being in politics for years, hat is aware of the reality in such proceedings and such allegations can only be made by people like Bhat, who do not have any political knowledge of the law, he said.
