HUBLI: BJP leaders at the state executive, which concluded here on Saturday, condemned the reported statement of AICC general secretary Digvijay Singh, who alleged that the RSS was behind Wednesday's Mumbai serial bomb blasts.
"Singh has lost his mental balance and is making such frivolous charges only to stamp his authority in Congress and to get closer to Sonia Gandhi," Ravi claimed. The state BJP executive, meanwhile, has resolved to provide better infrastructure facilities at the district headquarters, as rapid urbanisation was the topic of discussion. Realising that around one-third of the state's population was residing in urban areas, the meeting stressed that the government cannot neglect the welfare of poor people living there.
Briefing the media about deliberations in the executive, state general secretary, C T Ravi stated that Suresh Kumar had chaired a session that had considered the problems being faced by the urban poor, and felt that migration of people to cities should be stopped. Members participated in a discussion which suggested that developing suburban areas should decongest, and in turn, ease the pressure on rapidly growing cities.Participants expressed concern over the increase in prices of essential commodities and the ill-effects of the Centre's EXIM policy on farmers. They stressed on bringing more industries to rural areas.He said that the Bill was anti-majority and a move to appease the minority. Under this bill, the majority will be punished twice for a single crime and a complaint lodged by the minority has greater say. The Bill is totally unconstitutional and against the principle of Right to Equality of the Indian Constitution, Ravi noted.
