Belagavi, Feb 26: Congress supremo Rahul Gandhi who is on a three-day Janashirvada Yatra tour of Mumbai-Karnataka districts spent time with farmers of the region.

By going to their fields and paying heed to their woes on Monday, Rahul who is on the last day of the tour, gave a patient ear to farmers' who spoke of their crops, loans and incomes.

Rahul told them that industrialists and middle class people were supporting BJP, but farmers, poor people, workers support the Congress.

Rahul addressed public gathering at Goadchi village in Ramdurg taluk on Monday. He expressed confidence that the Congress-led government in the state had lived upto the promises made.

He also hinted that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will lead the next government if Congress is re-elected, by saying "Siddaramaiah and I" will take the state forward after the elections.

Rahul said, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP have money and media with them, but Congress will win the elections in Karnataka based on good governance.

Siddaramaiah's government has walked the talk. We have not seen any promises being fulfilled by Modi government but Congress government in Karnataka is different and people will support the party by re-electing it.

Attacking Modi for speaking about corruption in Karnataka, he said, Modi has not established Lokayukta in Gujarat when he was chief minister (2002) or Lokpal in Delhi during the last four years as prime minister.

"The prime minister speaks of corruption while his own party man in Karnataka B S Yeddyurappa and his four ministers have been to jail on corruption charges," Rahul charged.

Modi has accepted that Karnataka has been providing more jobs, but does not talk of his promises of two crore jobs per year not being met. We are aware of Karnataka governments successes, but youth have been betrayed by Modi, he said.

The AICC president said, Modi should take a cue from Siddaramaiah and learn on how to deliver promises. Modi has given a huge list of slogans, but none have been fulfilled. Prime minister favors people like Nirav Modi who flee with Rs 22,000 crore that belongs to people. Rahul said, Modi gave Rs 33,000 crore for Tata Nano plant but not a single car was seen on the roads.

Thiruvananthapuram, Mar 28: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi's intervention to remove the blocking of roads including state highway along the border of Karnataka in view of lock down to contain the spread of COVID-19.

In a letter sent to the Prime Minister on Friday evening, the Chief Minister said certain actions by the Karnataka Police have resulted in the blocking the Thalassery-Coorg State Highway-30. This road connects Kerala with Coorg in Karnataka via Veerajapettah. This route is a lifeline for flow of essential commodities to Kerala."

"If this is blocked, vehicles carrying essential commodities will have to travel a much longer route to reach our state. Given the situation of national lock down, this will add much more hardship to people," it said.

"You will naturally agree with me that no action impeding the movement of essential commodities should be initiated at this moment of crisis," he hoped.
