Congress destroyed Karnataka, tainted Ballari’s image; BJP restored it: PM Modi

Ballari, Apr 3: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday maintained that the Congress government had wasted its opportunity and ‘ruined’ the State during its five-year rule in Karnataka, and appealed to the voters to support the BJP for a better future for the State.

He also sought to touch upon the sentiment of local pride by saying that the Ballari region had a rich history, heritage and was blessed with immense natural resources, but the Congress was trying to besmirch its reputation.

The Congress was running a disinformation campaign in the country and abroad that Ballari was a land of thieves and looters. But the BJP-led government at the Centre had restored the region's glory by printing the stone chariot of Hampi on the Rs-50 note, the prime minister said.

"The Vijayanagar empire had shown the way in punishing the invaders. But the Congress is trying to taint this history for its politics," Modi said and called the state government 'Sidda Rupai Sarkar'.

The Congress has plunged Karnataka in debts, but the ministers' chests are full of wealth. The people of the district and state should hold those in power accountable, he said.

The Congress staged a drama of a padayatra to Ballari, but failed to formulate a mining policy during its five-year rule, Modi said.

He also attacked the state government for utilising only Rs 37 lakh out of the Rs 9,000 crore collected under the prime minister's mineral development project.

Modi attacked UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi for forgetting the Rs 3,000-crore package announced for the district after she won the Ballari seat in the 1999 Lok Sabha elections.

The BJP chose Abdul Kalam in the past and Ram Nath Kovind now for the President's post while making Venkaiah Naidu the Vice President. Nirmala Sitharaman is the first woman Defence Minister, he said, adding that all this answers the Congress' criticism that the BJP is a Brahmanic, North India, anti-minority, anti-dalit and male-centric party.

For the past 4 years all Modi has done is to blame congress with zero development to show.

Now Modi wants the criminal Yeddy who was in jail to be our CM. Reddy brothers who were accused of completely rigging the iron ore mining and defrauding the government and was in jail. Modi wants these criminals to be BJP's wining candidates. To save our karnataka please vote for congress!

Thank God, he didn’t blame Congress for the present condition of Jashoda Ben... How can someone stoop to such a low?

Karnataka government should give account of money spent on migrants, food kits: Shivakumar

News Network

July 22,2020

Bengaluru, Jul 22: Karnataka Congress president DK Shivakumar on Tuesday said that the state government should give details of the amount it spent on migrants and labourers during the coronavirus crisis if it is transparent.

"The image of Karnataka has come to a very rotten position. We all know that Karnataka has failed in sorting out the problem. Let them (the state government) tell what has been the amount spent on the labour, migrants, food kits on the health department. We want an account (of the expenditure) if they are so transparent," Shivakumar said.

He said that the state government should have approached the hospitals for treating COVID-19 patients and if any hospital refused, a message should have been given that the government would take it over.

He also accused the state government of corruption.
