Bengaluru: Yeddyurappa hits back at Rahul for his rear view remark


Bengaluru, Feb 10 (PTI): BJP Karnataka unit chief B S Yeddyurappa today hit back at Congress President Rahul Gandhi for his rear view mirror comment against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

In a couple of tweets, Yeddyurappa asked if the rear view mirror helped Gandhi spot Santosh Lad, Anand Singh and remind him of the land, mining and 'rape scam'.

"Still wondering what 'rape scam' means? Are the objects in the mirror closer than they appear?" he asked.

Anand Singh, who was a BJP MLA and joined the Congress recently, had in the past faced charges of illegal mining and Lad land scam allegation, which both had refuted.


Hitting back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for criticising policies of erstwhile Congress governments, Rahul Gandhi said he is running the country by looking just in the rear view mirror, "which will cause accidents."

"You (Modi) drive the vehicle by just looking in the rear view mirror, which will cause accidents. This country cannot be run by looking in the rear view mirror," Gandhi said, taking a swipe at Modi at a rally at Hosapete in Ballari district for the upcoming state assembly polls

Yeddyurappa also came down heavily on Chief Minister Siddaramaiah calling him a "corrupt opportunist."

"Dear 10 percent CM Siddaramaiah, I would like to remind you, your padayatre in 2013 about the mining sector. Now, inducting Anand Singh into the Congress camp has only proved you are a corrupt opportunist. A case of amnesia," he tweeted.

Yeddyurappa was referring to the march by Siddaramaiah as the opposition leader to Ballari against illegal mining.

The reference to 10 percent relates to a charge made by Modi at a rally here recently, where he had called the Siddaramaiah dispensation a "10 percent commission government."

    Nehru spent nearly 9-years in jail (on and off) during our fight for non-violent freedom struggle while RSS leaders were no where in the scene back then. In contrast, yeddi went to jail for bribe and scams.

    Mr.Yeddyurappa, where were you? If you drive a car, you will know the use of rear view which used properly, avoid accidents. In other words, its safe for you too. What is wrong in the statement made by Shri Rahul Gandhi. He says right. If Modiji has taken care of the people of this country, there would have been peace and harmony among people. Has he taken care of the necessary commodities required for the daily people of this country? You need to make a survey meeting the people in every village and city and surely you will know the meaning of this statement. We need a prime minister who sees properly and take care of every situations.. Hope for good.

    Yaddi counter attacked Rahul Gandhi....! Great, could be true that Congress is corrupt.

    What moral rights this Yadiyurappa had to say this? No doubt Modiji is a great leader, But Karnataka BJP needs bypass surgery. One must alway remember that in the history of Karnataka working CM arrested for ahuge scam. Siddu could be a narcolepsy (walking in sleep), but like Yaddi.

    The NO1 looter of Karnataka is talking about other looters. The money he has looted is enough to feed all people of Karnataka . He has been in prison for it and also some landscam cases are going on against him and what moral right has he got to be CM again if it all BJP wins. What moral right Modi has got to talk about corruption when he has selected the most corrupt person to be his CM?

    Former CM Yeddyurappa who was on bail from jail in mining kickbacks and denotification scams, talking as if he is riding in car with two steering one in front and the other in rear driven by Amit Shah.
    Did he forget his jail sentence and fake heart attack and crying like toddler?

    If you have nothing do with corruption and mysterious death of your own wife, swear in front of Dharmasthala.
    I hope that Indonesian inventor with two steering should have sold his car to BJP so that all corrupt BJPians in the party should be safely hoarded.
