Udupi, Mar 11: The Bharatiya Janata Party has been inciting hatred between the communities across Karnataka in general and coastal belt in particular, according to former chief minister Siddaramaiah.

Addressing the Parivarthan Rally at Royal Garden Maidan in Kalsanka, Siddaramaiah called upon the people of coastal Karnataka to be cautious of saffron party’s divisive politics.

“Ahead of polls BJP wants to create communal hatred in Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada districts,” he said.

Taking on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the former CM said, a 56-inch wide chest alone is not enough, PM should also have a compassionate heart to feel the pulse of the poor.

“This election, the fight is not between AICC chief Rahul Gandhi and Narendra Modi. But the fight is to save the democracy and safeguard the Constitution,” he stressed.

Siddaramaiah accused Narendra Modi of coming to power with attractive lies.

“Today he does not make a mention about the assurances made in the past. In the past 45 years, unemployment during Modi regime is an all-time high.”

“Initially, the BJP forced Attorney General to lie before the Supreme Court that the files related to Rafale deal were stolen. Then in the same court, the principal legal advisor to the government declared that the files were not stolen but duplicated. The developments raises a suspicion that the ‘chowkidar is also a chor (thief)’,” he charged.

KPCC President Dinesh Gundu Rao, Udupi district-in-charge Minister Dr Jayamala, Minister for Urban Development U T Khader, Congress leaders Oscar Fernandes, B K Hari Prasad, Pramod Madhwaraj and Ivan D’souza.
