Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken forward the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) campaign in Karnataka by embarking on a two-day tour of the state, during which he will hold six public meetings and two roadshows.
He reached Hamnabad in Bidar district on Saturday morning to address his first public meeting of the day, where he said the upcoming May 10 election is not just about winning but taking the state to the number one position in the country. .
Speaking in Humnabad, he addressed the recent controversy over Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge’s ‘poisonous snake’ remark against him and said the Congress has abused him “91 times”.
“Congress has started abusing me again. Somebody has made a list of names they have called me. Every time Congress abuses me, they break down. Congress has abused me 91 times. … Congress abuses me, I will continue.” Working for the people of Karnataka.”
“I had received the blessings of Bidar earlier also. This election is not just about winning, it is about making Karnataka the No. 1 state in the country. The development of the state can happen only when all its parts are developed. This election will decide the role of the state and to make it number 1, a double engine government is very important.
He also stressed the importance of a “double engine” government and said, “Foreign investment in the state has tripled under the BJP rule as compared to the Congress rule. The state is witnessing double development at twice the speed. BJP again in Karnataka.” The government is ready. The Congress had only made false promises to the farmers and people of Karnataka. The farmers of the state have not received any benefits under the Congress government.”
He also said that the Congress has stopped the development in the state. “Congress will never understand the struggle and pain of the poor. The Congress slowed down the pace of the Houses here. But the BJP has given the ownership rights of the houses to the women here. Congress only did the politics of appeasement. Karnataka has suffered under the Congress government. Congress is only concerned about seats and not the people of the state. Congress has stalled development in the state.
PM Modi is also scheduled to visit Vijayapura and Kudachi in Belagavi, and then reach state capital Bengaluru for a roadshow later today. To avoid crowding and ensure the safety of the PM, the Bengaluru Traffic Police issued a traffic advisory in this regard.
