Athani, Feb 24: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah launched a verbal onslaught against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa during his address at the Janaashirvad Yatra rally in Athani on Saturday.

"Narendra Modi is a great facilitator of corruption. The prime minister accuses the Congress government in Karnataka 10% government while his government allowed Nirav Modi to loot a staggering Rs 11,000 crore. He (Nirav) could not have siphoned off such astronomical sums without the help of his namesake (Narendra Modi). The Union government let the frauds Lalith Modi, Nirav Modi and Vijay Mallya escape from the country," Siddaramaiah alleged.

Siddaramaiah said Modi is misleading the people with bundle of lies. "Ahead of 2014 Lok Sabha elections, you (modi) promised to deposit Rs 15 lakh in the bank account of the citizens. You didn't give even Rs 15. Where is your Achche Din? You write off corporate loans but not willing to waive farm loans. Your's is 90% commission government," he said.

"How can you seek votes, keeping the 'jailbirds' Amit Shah and B S Yeddyurappa in the forefront, he wondered.

Taking a dig at the local MLA Lakshman Savadi, the chief minister said, "You know why the local MLA was made to resign. Do you still want to elect him, he questioned the crowd. Lakshman Savadi was accused of watching porn during an Assembly session.

Siddaramaiah called Jarkiholi brothers - Sathish and Ramesh, and Prakash Hukkeri to put up an united front and turn Belagavi district into a Congress bastion.

He said that the Centre did not give a single rupee for the Mahamastakabhisheka. It was the state government which released huge grants for the duodecennial event.

Earlier, All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Rahul Gandhi arrived at Sambra airport here at 12.10 pm on Saturday for his second-leg of Janaashirvada Yatre.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Opposition leader in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge received the AICC president at the airport.

Rahul Gandhi, along with Siddaramaiah and Kharge flew to Athani in a helicopter.

Remember social media memes of Chinese companies exporting #BoycottChina hats and t-shirts to India? This time India’s sensational and saffronite TV anchor Arnab Goswami vindicated those memes by hosting an anti-China debate show which was sponsored by Chinese companies!

While the last night's debate was all about boycotting Chinese products in the wake of massacre of over 20 Indian soldiers by their Chinese counterparts in eastern Ladakh, the show was brazenly promoting Chinese products through advertisement placements. 

During the debate, amongst the flashy headlines, there were two brand sponsorships that appeared: VIVO and Xiaomi. Both companies are giant Chinese multinational corporations. 

Twitter user Nirmala Tai, who was among those who spotted this irony, highlighted two instances during the debate where the logo of one of the brands popped up, and one where Xiaomi was found promoting the Mi 10. 

Many Twitterati used Goswami’s some of the favourite words such as ‘hypocrite’ and ‘anti-national’ to target him. They hit out at his channel for accepting sponsorship deals from Chinese brands at a time when anti-China sentiment is strong in the country.
