Excerpts:
Q BJP looks at Karnataka because the ultimate bastion of the Congress to conquer. How well ready are you?
BJP has grow to be desperate, we've no longer. First of all, secularism is one of the philosophies Kannadigas believe in, and the Congress practices. It nonetheless runs in the veins of Kannadigas as ‘Kannada Prajne’ -- Kannada consciousness. Earlier, BJP dominated simply as an coincidence because of the JD(S).
Q Will Hindutva politics impact Congress prospects in Karnataka?
Who protected the nation previously 70 years? Did BJP or RSS offer protection to the nation? They introduced insecurity and disintegration to the nation. Their foundations in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Gujarat are shaking. That means there is a mandate against the BJP and its communal time table.
Q Modi has launched into a tour of the state on the fag-end. How will it impact Congress?
Modi isn't answering MPs in Parliament. He has no consider in Parliament. Niti Ayog stays a frame with out the power of considering. In the Gujarat election, he camped there for over a month. Now he has misplaced self assurance and is visiting only for Five-6 days here. He had campaigned in Karnataka in 2013 too. People of Karnataka have the sense to know their lies.
Q The much-hyped Congress manifesto does no longer appear to be part of the ballot marketing campaign.
We have been campaigning projecting our manifesto before the people. We have given a manifesto that benefits every individual in the state. It will definitely be a big dialogue this election. We have implemented 99% of the promises made in 2013. All promises in the manifesto for 2018-23 can also be implemented effectively.
Q While you blame BJP for mollycoddling mining barons, your birthday celebration is also no longer above board.
G Janardhana Reddy and B Sriramulu had created a nexus of corruption in Ballari, and Anand Singh was a scapegoat in it. Reddy was the captain, and in line with BJP president Yeddyurappa, he is one of the three pillars in their birthday celebration. However, their president Amit Shah has disowned him. Anand Singh was practically a Congressman and has returned to our birthday celebration.
Q People blame you for the implementation of an “unscientific Yettinahole venture”.
Five national institutes have submitted stories proving that the venture will yield water required for parched regions. Those stories had been approved through the National Green Tribunal too. The subsequent govt will entire the venture as consistent with agenda and practice all procedures.
Q What political area do you spot on your son Harsha Moily?
First of all, he has no longer been denied a birthday celebration price ticket to contest from Karkala. H Gopal Bhandary, who had misplaced through a slender margin of about four,000 votes, was given the price ticket. Oscar Fernandes and different leaders mooted the proposal to box Harsha in Karkala. We stated, allow us to see. We had no longer asked the birthday celebration for a price ticket. But Bhandary belongs to a microscopic minority and denying a seat to this type of person isn't suitable. Harsha is helping me now and is a spokesperson of the Congress. It is the Congress, no longer me, which can make a decision his long run. I don’t mix personal existence and politics.
