Mangaluru: UPA govt was better at unearthing black money than NDA, says Khader


Daijiworld Media Network - Mangaluru (ANK)

Mangaluru, Nov 8: Minister for food and civil supplies U T Khader on Wednesday November 8 said that the previous UPA government was better at unearthing black money and demanded the central government to release white paper on the financial state of the country, even as the Congress observed 'black day' to mark the first anniversary of demonetisation.

Addressing a press meet here, Khader said, "The BJP-led central government has dragged people into a pathetic condition with demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes a year ago. The policies and schemes introduced by the central government are just for politics not for the betterment of the people.

"A year ago when demonetisation of notes was announced, the ruling party had criticised Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi for raising voice against the move. Even Mannohan Singh had said that economy would come down drastically. Today people have come to know that Manmohan Singh and Rahul Gandhi were speaking the truth while Modi made fake promises. Modi failed to deliver his promises to unearth black money and curb terror financing," he said.

Giving statistics, he said, "As per a report, in the the year 2012-13, a total of Rs 29,630 crore of black money was unearthed, in 2013-14 Rs 1,01,183 crore of black money was seized, and in 2014-15 the figure stood at Rs 23,108 crore, while in 2015-16 only Rs 20,721 crore of black money was found and in 2016-17, the black money unearthed was Rs 29,211 crore. These statistics shows that there has been decline in unearthing of black money. In fact, more money has been spent to mint new currency notes. The UPA government was much better than the NDA government at unearthing black money," Khader claimed.

"Who is responsible for the country's decline in growth rate? BJP also promised to provide job opportunities to youths, instead they snatched away their jobs, thereby increasing the rate of unemployment in the country. The central government has betrayed the trust of youths by snatching away their jobs. This is the difference between Congress and BJP," he added.


Indira Canteens in Dakshina Kannada

U T Khader futher said, "Indira Canteens will be launched in Dakshina Kannada by January 2018, with five canteens being set up within Mangaluru City Corporation limits and Ullal constituency, and one each in Bantwal, Puttur, Sullia and Beltangady taluks. Land has been identified in Thokkottu.

"In these canteens, food for 500 people at a time will be arranged in places with population of 45,000 to 1 lac, and for 300 people at a time in places with population of 25,000 to 45,000," he added.


Tipu Jayanti

"We will celebrate Tipu Jayanti despite the opposition. We need to remember freedom fighter Tipu Sultan and his contribution," Khader said.


Savi Ruchi Kai Thutthu Mobile Canteen

State president of women's development authority Bharathi Shanker announced the opening up of 'Savi Ruchi Kai Thutthu' mobile canteens in all districts of the state on November 19 on the eve of Indira Gandhi's birth anniversary.
"The mobile canteen intiative will be flagged off in Bengaluru and will start functioning in all the districts simultaneously. In each district, Jilla Mahila Okkutta has been formed consisting of 12 members to run this mobile canteen in its respective district," she said.

    BJP's Claim:
    Demonetization will eliminate terror financing.

    Reality:
    Terror incidents increased post-DeMonetization. In fact, fake Rs. 2000 notes were recovered from Terrorists as early as on 22nd November 2016.

    Conclusion: A desperate bjp kept changing Goalposts with daily spins, DeMonetisation was a disaster and turned into a money-laundering operation.

    Agree 100% with U T Khader! The present Govt which claims the Congress was corrupt for 60-70 years has outdone and outsmarted the Congress by out-beating them in just 3 years! The present dispensation has allowed its cronies to dig deep holes in the crust of the earth to hoard black money! Shame on the Narendra Modi Govt and all those who support him!
