PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) campaign for the Lok Sabha elections in Karnataka on Saturday by accusing the Siddaramaiah-led government of engaging in corruption and looting while worsening the state of law and order.
Speaking at a massive gathering from Kalaburagi, the home constituency of Congress President M Mallikarjun Kharge, the PM promised to win over 400 seats in the next general elections.
PM Modi said, “The crowd in Kalaburagi and its enthusiasm shows that Karnataka has resolved to ensure that the BJP wins a record number of seats in the Lok Sabha elections… Today the whole of Karnataka is saying that this time we will cross 400.”
He added, “The law and order situation in Karnataka has worsened. Anti-social elements are being given protection in the state. I can understand the anger that all of you have against Congress. It is such a party that no matter how many clothes they change, their activities won’t change. The blackness of coal can be removed but corruption can’t be separated from Congress. For these dynasts, corruption is oxygen. Therefore, the people in Karnataka have been awakened. People have come to know the truth of Congress.”
Accusing the ruling Congress of indulging in loot, the PM said: “These people came to power by making big promises to the youth. But today, they are stopping the scholarships of those very young, cutting them. It is Congress that is sinning, depriving the youth of their rights. The loot of Congress is such that even for small development works, there is no money with the government. The MLAs have been told that the government does not have money. Is this how a government operates? Even Congress has realized that they will not be able to form the government again. Therefore, Congress has only one agenda left, loot as much as you can.”
“The BJP has always worked for the development of Karnataka. We have respected the identity of Karnataka. Wherever I go in the world, I talk about the principles of democracy that were taught to us by Jagadguru Basaveshwara. Taking inspiration from the Anubhava Mantapa, we also named Delhi’s Bharat Mandapam after it. This is the place where the G-20 Summit of leaders from around the world was held. This increased the pride and respect of Karnataka worldwide,”
