Bengaluru: Terming All India Congress Committee (AICC) President Rahul Gandhi as the ‘person with unlimited immaturity’, former External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna called upon the people to vote for the BJP and ensure ‘continuity’ of good governance.
Addressing newsmen here on Tuesday, he came down heavily on the AICC Chief and said that the Supreme Court had issued notice to the Congress leader for his immature statement on the ‘chowkidar chor hai.’
“Let us see what explanation the Congress President will give to the Supreme Court,” he said.
Charging that the Prime Minister during the UPA regime was controlled by ‘remote control’, the BJP leader, who was once part of the Manmohan Singh Government at the Centre, said: “Prime Minister Narendra Modi had provided a stable Government sans any remote control in the last five years.”
Showering praises on the NDA Govt. he said, “Thanks to his (Modi’s) leadership, country could evolve a unified tax system for the entire country, taken several decisive measures, and provided a new dimension to the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan in the country.”
“Only Modi can provide an aggressive push in finding solutions to the teething problems of the country,” Krishna said. Stating that he had not seen any PM in the past, who had devoted more than 18 hours of a day for the upliftment of the nation, the former External Affairs Minister said: “Prime Minister Modi has no other ‘hobbies’ than working for the country for extended hours.”
“Working for extended hours in a given situation, is different, than making it a routine,” he said.
Referring to former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda’s statement that he will prevent Modi from coming to power, he said that “during 2014 elections, Gowda wished Modi not to come to power, this time also the JD(S) leader is wishing the same.”
“Deve Gowda cannot prevent Modi from coming to power at the Centre physically. This is democracy, the people have the ultimate power,” he said.
Criticising that the JD(S) leaders in Karnataka were working towards strengthening their-own family members, he said: “We can understand why they are shedding tears in the public. Because they are scared of the defeat of their kin in this Lok Sabha election.”
Refuting the charges that I-T authorities are conducting raids on targeted parties, he said: “It is not correct to attribute any motives against Central agencies.”
Referring to the candidature of the independent candidate Sumalatha Ambarish in Mandya, Krishna said, “BJP candidate had polled more than 2.5 lakh votes in the by-elections held last year and all the party workers are supporting the independent candidate,” he said.
The former CM, while appealing all the voters to exercise their Constitutional rights by visiting Polling Stations without fail, also prayed them to vote for BJP.
Wow, never thought a statesman like Sri S M Krishna would make these kind of comments, but yet again it’s the influence of the party he is in now. Yatha Raja thata praja.
What about you? You read Portugal speech in UN while representing India. How clueless you are?
Only a person with Limited Maturity like Krishna can make such stupid statement. After Krishna joined BJP, his son in law stopped getting IT notices & even raids have stopped completely. What’s the secret ? SMK joined BJP just to get protection from IT dept for him & for his son in law. We must ignore people like SMK.
Please describe your son in law assets, ABC group, Coffeeday and 3000 acres of estates.
V.G.Siddharha the son in law of SMKrishna .. his profile is here
He started his coffee trading company ABC in 1993, with a Rs 60 million turnover. His company grew gradually. He bought an ailing coffee curing unit in Hassan for Rs 40 million and turned it around. Now, his company has a curing capacity of 75,000 tonnes, which is the largest in the country
He was the first entrepreneur in Karnataka to set up a café in 1996 (Café Coffee Day, a chain of “youth hangout” coffee parlors). Now, he has 1550 Coffee Day Cafes in India. Siddhartha also hopes to win the contract to take his chain to all the airports of Karnataka and then to the rest of the country. His cyber cafes attract at least 40,000 to 50,000 visitors a week.
Amalgamated Bean Coffee Trading Company Ltd. today is the largest exporter of green coffee from India and perhaps one of the two fully integrated coffee companies of Asia, involved in all sectors of coffee from plantations to retailing to exports. Café Coffee Day has become India’s largest and premier retail chain of cafes with 1,423 cafes in 209 cities/towns
Other businesses
Siddhartha also founded Global Technology Ventures Ltd. in 2000, a company that identifies, invests and mentors Indian companies engaged in technologies. Currently,[when?] he also holds board seats in GTV, Mindtree, Liqwid Krystal, Way2Wealth and Ittiam. GTV has now set up a global technology village on a 59-acre (240,000 m2) technology incubator park in Bangalore, which will provide office space, communication links, recreational facilities and even a commercial centre. GTV was valued by BankAm at $100 million last year,[when?] and is expected to have doubled its valuation this year.[when?] It is poised to grow on the lines of Softbank of Japan.
Just because somebody is successful does not mean he is a thief or a tax evador! He started in 1993 and raid on coffee business hapkened in 2017! Does tgat nean that if he was a fraud, Congress continued to let him to succeed? Why because he bel9nged to Congress?
In our democracy Anybody can freely accuse antibody! Our court system delay stinks that falsely accusing scumbags never get punished! Even tax raids happen on honest businessman and finally they come out clean ! That was what happened in his case too!
Turuka sulemagane! Just because his father in law joined the party that does not support territism of jihaadis and mullas, that does not give you a license to spread lies about an honest businessman! If you have that courage, do this in Dubai or Saudi Arabia criticing a local businessman and your corpse may not even get a decent burial ! So, don’t try to spread lies using rumors!
Let Rahul Gandhi first qualify himself for any debate or discussion by speaking coherently and with some sense.People have already started ignoring his outbursts only aimed at boosting the sagging fortunes of the Congress in the run up to the Lok Sabha elections.
@Prakash R: “Only a person with Limited Maturity like Krishna”. It takes one to know one!
@syed matheen: Once you prove that you are not an ISI/Pakistani asset/agent, we can press SMK to exp;ain!
This Ex Mantri of BJP Uma aunty is no saint. She was in charge of CLEANING THE HOLY GANGA. TURNS OUT the 30,000 crores budget set to clean the Holy Ganga is now left like the PUBLIC TOILET FLUSH and the MONEY 30,000 crores was ALSO FLUSHED INTO HER ANSD SEVERAL BJP DEEP POCKET.
