Bengaluru: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will retain power in Karnataka after the May 10 Assembly elections.
Addressing a massive gathering at Ayanur in Shivamogga, PM Modi, who is in the last leg of campaigning for the Assembly polls, said "people are going to elect a majority government in the state this time". "Despite being Sunday, people have blessed me. I will be obliged to Karnataka for my entire life. I will not forget this love and affection. Our exam is on May 10. I will give a genuine guarantee. I have a goal to develop the state," PM Modi stated. Criticising the Congress, the Prime Minister said the party was offering lies as promises only to fool people.
"When I was the Gujarat chief minister, BS Yediyurappa was also the chief minister of Karnataka. Yediyurappa had come with a delegation to Delhi regarding problems faced by arecanut farmers. Yediyurappa has struggled for the welfare of Shivamogga's farmers. I have taken many measures for the welfare of arecanut growers. There is no need for panic in this regard," he said.
Only PM’s 4 jackets a day are famous: Kharge
While RSS leaders were busy getting plum government posts, it was the Congressmen sacrificing their lives for the country, he claims
Launching a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday said only his “jacket” is famous and he changes it four times a day. Raking up the issue of RSS and the BJP’s “contribution” to India’s independence, Kharge, who hails from this district, claimed that when the Congressmen were sacrificing their lives, RSS leaders were busy getting plum government posts.
“Modi keeps saying what the Congress has done in the last 70 years. ‘Arre Bhai’, if we hadn’t done anything in 70 years, you would not have been the Prime Minister of this country. We brought independence. Mahatma Gandhi risked his life and gave us independence,” the Rajya Sabha member said at a public meeting here ahead of the May 10 Assembly elections in Karnataka.
