Udupi, Feb 20: BJP opposition leader Kota Srinivas Poojary told journalists in Udupi that the tussle between MLA J N Ganesh and Anand Singh was caused due to internal reasons. “I do not have any comments to make on coalition government making MLAs Ganesh and Anand Singh as ministers.”

Reacting to the accident of Chikamagalur MLA C T Ravi’s car he said that C T Ravi was sleeping at the back. Regarding statements by U T Khader he said that he knows C T Ravi. “He has no vices. Congress, glorifying an accident for politics has pained me.”

Regarding allegations that the name of C T Ravi was not found in the FIR, he said that naturally the police take into consideration what the complainant states. “C T Ravi states that he continued his journey only after admitting the injured to the hospital. Therefore, it appears that C T Ravi is innocent in the case,” he said.

Regarding the statement by chief minister Kumaraswamy about seat sharing that they are not beggars, he said that the discussion is internal. “However the chief minister has spoken rigidly maintaining his prestige.”

Regarding twin murders in Kota, he said that 99% of the suspects are being arrested and questioned. “Ivan D’ Souza and U T Khader have mentioned in the house that a zilla panchayat member of our party is involved in the case. Our MPs and MLAs will not intervene in the investigations,” he said.

Speaking about ‘Shobha Hatao’ page opened on social networks, he said that it is natural to have different opinions during elections between aspirants, activists and supporters. “We will work for the candidate whose name will be announced and make him/her win. We will campaign together to make Modi prime minister again. There is no confusion in it,” said Poojary.
