Efforts on to unite regional parties under Sonia Gandhi: HD Deve Gowda

Deccan Chronicle  

Hassan: With a weak opposition at the Centre, efforts are on to unite all regional parties under the leadership of Congress president, Sonia Gandhi, according to Janata Dal supremo, H D Deve Gowda. Referring to Mr Narendra Modi’s completion of three years as Prime Minister, Mr Gowda was at his sarcastic best. “I don’t know whether the Centre has come out with the ban on cow slaughter to mark the completion of his three years although beef is exported in huge quantities and the business runs into crores in his native place of Gujarat,” he remarked. Also hitting out at the wide publicity Mr Modi’s three year anniversary was receiving in about 900 cities across the country, he said, “I have never seen such huge publicity for any Prime Minister in the past.” The JDS veteran, however, refused to comment on Bihar Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar’s meeting with Mr Modi.
