Bengaluru, May 4: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said India is now moving forward from women development to women-led development, and "women first" was the mantra of his government and the party.

Addressing Karnataka BJP Mahila Morcha Karyakartas via the 'Narendra Modi App', the prime minister asked them to win the May 12 Karnataka Assembly elections by concentrating on booths.

"Today the country is moving forward from women development to women-led development," Modi said.

"When we have such a mantra for the country's development, our party also believes in this mantra. For party Mahila Shakti (women power) is important. For us, whether it is organisation or government or framing of programmes it is women first," he added.

Capable women have been given important portfolios in his cabinet, Modi said adding group photos of foreign ministers and defence ministers at the SCO summit in China showed that Sushma Swaraj and Nirmala Sitharaman representing India were the only women.

"Both of them have had a connection to Karnataka," he noted.

Lauding the contribution and efforts of women workers, Modi asked the Karyakartas to concentrate on winning booths.

"We have to win the state election. We will win, we will have to win assembly constituency, but as always I urge karyakartas and for me, the most important thing is winning polling booths," Modi said.

Holding that if the party wins polling booths no power can defeat it in the assembly, he said "Where is victory, it is in polling booths, rest is all its effects. We have to win polling booths."

"When we have to win polling booths we will have to bring out Karnataka Congress government's false promises and misdeeds. We will have to appeal everyone to join in India's journey towards progress. In doing this our Mahila Morcha karyakartas are most influential as they do it by building trust," he added.

During his speech, Modi recalled the legacy of women leadership in Karnataka by remembering Kittur Rani Chennamma, Belavadi Mallamma, Rani Abbakka, Onake Obavva and legendary Hindustani singer Gangubai Hangal.

The prime minister said he was "also excited to know that there was a dedicated women team that worked behind ISRO's Mars Mission 'Mangalyan.'

He also paid homage to sitting BJP MLA and party candidate from Jayanagara constituency for the May 12 Assembly polls B N Vijaykumar, who died of a massive heart attack at a hospital here in the early hours today.

Bengaluru, Jul 3: Opposition leader in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday opined that there is no other option left but to resort to 'Jail Bharo' agitation to expose the ruling BJP government's indulge in 'Corona Corruption' which runs into more than Rs 2000 crore.

Siddaramaiah said that according to a submission to the Karnataka High Court the government has submitted that it has incurred Rs 3,392 crore expenditure for Corona in the State so far. While the market price for equipment purchased will not exceed Rs 1163 crore and it clearly shows that the corruption is to the tune of Rs 2,000 crore.

Siddaramaiah speaking to a private TV channel here on Friday said the chief minister B S Yediyurappa-led State government should come out with a White Paper on the money spent for purchases made facilities provided to patients. 

According to submission to the Court, the Government has purchased 1000 Ventilators by paying Rs 120 crore, while the market price is Rs 40 crores at Rs 4 lakh for each Ventilator. Why is Rs 120 crore more paid, does it not lead to doubt the government's claim. For purchase of kits, mask, gloves etc. it amounted to Rs 1,500 crores but paid by the government was Rs 9,000 crore."
