Bengaluru, Jan 3: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday clarified that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has assured him to consider all the demands made by his government.
"Prime Minister spoke to me personally and assured me of all help and suggested that I visit New Delhi and meet the concerned Ministers and apprise them about the state's problems and pending projects. He also directed me to prepare a detail report on this matter," Yediyurappa said in a statement.
He claimed that a section of media has misinterpreted his speech which was plain and honest towards the development of the state.
"A section of media has attached motive to my speech which was plain and honest in its content. Being in federal set up, there is nothing wrong with placing the facts before the Prime Minister and making submissions," the Chief Minister said.
"As a Chief Minister, I placed our state's problems and need for more funds for developmental activities. I pleaded before the Prime Minister for more funds to the relief work, the scientific and remunerative price for the farm produces, and special fund of Rs 50,000 crore for speeding up of on-going irrigation work. As it was farmers' meet, I felt it worthy and timely to plead the Prime Minister for more funds for all the developmental activities in the state," he said.
Asserting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a great visionary and his concern for the poor and farmers is unquestionable, he said: "When the whole world is appreciating his statesmanship and visionary zeal, it is in very bad taste for the media to attribute motives to my speech and relate it to the Prime Minister."
Yediyurappa requested media to show support to his government in the interest of the development of the state.
"I humbly request the electronic and print media not to misinterpret but support the government in the interest of the development of the state and interests of the people. I hope the media will respond to my request," he said.

Nobody can predict any unscientific things other than God.
Perhaps a scientist can say if it can be rain tomorrow or after 3days.
He can predict ambient temperature to a certain accuracy rate.
But he can not say anybody's luck.
People should not fall prey to such Babas.....
I can also predict collision govt as long as there is EVM. BJP will play a major game in this election. So congress be careful or else you need to sit in opposition party.
Nobody knows the future except GOD, to know who is the TRUE GOD read online thequranproject
