Mangalore: DK District in-charge Minister and State Minister for Forest and Ecology B Ramanatha Rai has pretended ignorant about the recent incident wherein State Minister Abhayachandra Jain allegedly threatened a journalist in Moodbidri.
Speaking to reporters at the District Congress Office on Monday May 5, Rai said “ I am aware that Abhayachandra Jain had spoken to Yashodhara Bangera, but do not know about the threatening issue. This is his personal matter and I would not like to comment.” “It is better for you to question Abhayachandra in this regard,” Rai said.
When a scribe questioned how could it be a personal issue when the minister had threatened the Moodbidri reporter of getting his limbs broken through Congress workers and make him beg, Rai said “ I am aware as to how many had come forward to secure the release of a media man who was once earlier in prison.”
He once again said he was not ready to say anything about the case pertaining to minister Abhayachandra.
Commenting on CT Ravi and his remarks against him, Rai said “I need not take lessons on ethics from Ravi. Everyone knows how CT Ravi who once had nothing is now a crorepathi. Ravi who alleges my hands in shielding rape accused should first have evidences to prove his charges,” Rai said.
The Minister further said he would fight against caste politics until his last breathe. On the Rai Hatao Programme which the BJP has threatened to launch, the district minister said the Congress too will have to counter this.
Ibrahim Kodijal, Interim President of District Congress, Mahabala Maarla, Mayor, Kallige Taranath Shetty were also present.
