HASSAN: Minister for public works H D Revanna continued to target BJP candidate from Hassan, A Manju , who had jumped over to BJP from Congress . Revanna’s son Prajwal is Manju’s rival in Hassan.Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, he alleged that Manju joined BJP after enjoying all the benefits in Congress. “He got all the benefits (undu thindu) from Congress by fooling Siddaramaiah . Now he is contesting on a BJP ticket. If I talk about him, my mouth will get spoiled,” Revanna said.Downplaying BJP state president and former CM BS Yeddyurappa's statement that political equations will change in the state after the Lok Sabha results, he said that BSY is now left with no strategies. “He is now running without any strategies to bring this government down. Whatever I predict will become true. The governor delivered his speech, CM HD Kumaraswamy presented his budget,” he said.“BJP will never come to power in the state again. Similarly, Modi will not become PM again,” he said.Revanna also slammed BJP for denying the Lok Sabha ticket to Tejaswini Ananth Kumar, widow of former Union minister Ananth Kumar. “It is really sad. Ananth was my neighbour. I feel very bad and sorry for the departed leader,” he said.He also made it clear that the difference between JD(S) and Congress leaders and activists in the district is a thing of past. “All leaders are supporting us. We will sweep this Lok Sabha election,” he said.Meanwhile, a day after BJP candidate A Manju washed the feet of pourakarmikas in Hassan before filing his nomination papers, activists of Karnataka State Municipal Workers Association under the banner of CITU held protest against the BJP leader for misusing pourakarmikas for political benefits.A group of activists from the association led by president Dharmesh held a protest on Tuesday alleging that it is unacceptable and condemnable that leaders are holding ‘pada puja’ of pourakarmikas for their political advantage.“The society always looks down on pourakarmikas. With these political stunts during election, they are further humiliated. Manju, while imitating PM Narendra Modi, has humiliated the pourakarmikas. When he was the minister, Manju never visited pourakarmikas’ colony or ensured equal pay policy as ordered by Supreme Court. He also failed to provide them proper shelter,” Dharmesh said.Dharmesh said that injustice has been done to pourakarmikas on all aspects. “But the Sangh Parivar, BJP, PM Modi and A Manju use pourakarmikas for their political game. Even though crores of rupees are spent on cleanliness, the governments fail to adopt advanced machineries to clean manholes, clean toilets and sewage pipes. These works are done manually by pourakarmikas without providing any safety measures. Pourakarmikas are living under job insecurity. Manju, while imitating PM Modi, has insulted pourakarmikas,” he said.Dharmesh appealed to the Election Commission to take up a suo mottu case against A Manju.KPRS district president H R Naveen Kumar, DYFI district secretary M G Pruthvi, district secretary Aravind, SFI district joint secretary Vivek and others were present.
