Shivamogga, Oct 31: Congress leader and minister of irrigation and medical education D K Shivakumar on Wednesday said that the Bharatiya Janata Party was hesitating to seek vote in the name of Narendra Modi as the people have already realised he is unfit to become the prime minister of this great country.

“The BJP local leaders are seeking votes in Yeddyurappa’s name in Shivamogga and Sriramulu’s name in Ballari. They have forgotten Narendra Modi. Yeddyurappa and Sriramulu are responsible for bypolls as they are power-hungry,” he told reporters.

They failed to pressurise the Central government for farm loan waiver, but Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy waived Rs 46,000 crore farm loan,” he said.

Shivakumar said that people were disappointed with the Centre as it failed to control the price rise of essential commodities. The voters would support the Congress and JD(S) in the bypolls.

He said that though he was opposed to the BJP ideology, he had soft corner for State BJP President B S Yeddyurappa.
