PM launches scathing attack on govt, says it’s engaged in ‘loot’
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday launched a scathing attack on the Congress government in Karnataka alleging deterioration of law and order situation and accused it of indulging in “loot” when the people are in trouble.
Kalaburagi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday launched a scathing attack on the Congress government in Karnataka alleging deterioration of law and order situation and accused it of indulging in “loot” when the people are in trouble. Formally launching the party’s Lok Sabha election campaign here in the home turf of Congress President M Mallikarujn Kharge, he also claimed that the people of Karnataka have decided to make BJP victorious in the state in the upcoming polls. “The anger that you (people) have towards Congress in Karnataka I can understand. The Congress is a party that despite changing their costume a number of times, their misdeeds don’t change. That’s the reason people of Karnataka are awake and are angry towards it,” Modi said.
Addressing a mega public rally here, Modi said people of Karnataka are disenchanted with the Congress government in Karnataka within such a short span of time. “This shows that people are aware of Congress’ truth. The Congress is not ready to improve despite getting several chances.” Alleging that the law and order situation in Karnataka has deteriorated, the PM said, anti-social elements are getting protection openly, and fear is being instilled into the minds of the people. “When people are worried, Congress is busy with loot.”
Karnataka BJP President B Y Vijayendra, BJP Parliamentary Board member B S Yediyurappa, Union Ministers Pralhad Joshi and Bhagwanth Khuba, Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly R Ashoka, the party’s candidate from Gulbarga Lok Sabha seat Umesh Jadhav, among others were present.
Looking at the enthusiasm among the people, it looks like Karnataka has decided to make BJP victorious in a record number of seats, Modi said, adding Karnataka has decided what the verdict would be even before the announcement of elections.
Stating that he has been in South India for the last couple of days and before that was in Jammu and Kashmir’s Srinagar, he said, journalists in Srinagar in their blog have written that after 1988 Srinagar had never seen such a big rally by any political party there.
“The scenes and passion I saw in Srinagar, the enthusiasm I saw towards India. I can say with confidence that the country is ready to fulfill its aspirations,” he said.
