Bengaluru, Jan 3: Former Karnataka chief minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Friday criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that 90 per cent of the promises made by him remain unfulfilled.
"He (Prime Minister Modi) had promised that in 2020 the economy will be doubled, but only their troubles have doubled. He just lied. 90 per cent of the promises made by Modi have remained unfulfilled," Siddaramaiah told media here.
Siddaramaiah's remarks come at a time when Prime Minister Modi is on a two-day visit to the state.
"In August, there was severe flood in state, he didn't visit Karnataka at that time. Flood situation was in 23 districts. Prime Minister will tweet for small issues. But at the time of severe flood he didn't even tweet. In 2009, Manmohan Singh was the Prime Minister. He did aerial survey of the state and announced Rs 1500 crore relief on spot," Siddaramaiah said.
"This time the estimated damage due to flood is more than Rs 1 lakh crores," he said.
He went on to say, "Prime Minister came to witness Chandrayaan-2. He did not give time to Chief Minister and ministers and opposition party to meet him and discuss about floods."
"When I was the Chief Minister, the Prime Minister visited the state two times. Prime Minister had told at the time of inauguration of food park that there will be 10,000 direct employment and 25,000 employment. But nothing has happened till now," Siddaramaiah said.
Besides the Prime Minister, Siddaramaiah also criticised Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa.
"In last election, Prime Minister had told that, if BJP comes to power in Centre and state, there will be development. But nothing has happened. Chief Minister and ministers should have spoken to the Prime Minister about relief funds. The central government should have announced it as National disaster... That's why I called BS Yediyurappa as weak Chief Minister," Siddaramaiah said.
"He had said if BJP is in power at the centre and state, doors of fortune of the state will be opened. People trusted him and gave 25 seats in Lok Sabha elections. But now, he doesn't even open the doors of his house for his party leaders," he said.
Congress leader further cornered the Prime Minister over his address in Tumkuru Mutt on Thursday and said, "We admit Pakistan is an evil country. But what are you doing about minorities in our country? You are bringing law against the minorities. Is that right? And you give speech about these things in front of young children."
Prime Minister Modi is on a two-day visit to Karnataka and is attending several events as part of his official engagements.

If hindus start eating beef based on this, then price will increase 2-3 times more than today's rate....very bad....
Chaddis eating beef sukka as well.
Dear YOGESH...
Please carefully read the below verse from BG and ponder on it. Also REFLECT on y BG mentioned this here.
Bhagavad Gita 7:20
Those whose INTELLIGENCE has been stolen by MATERIAL DESIRES surrender onto Demigods (Besides TRUE GOD) and follow the particular rules and regulations of WORSHIP according to their own natures...
I think U should not worship the idols and statues instead worship the TRUE GOD who is formless (NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI). This is the TRUTH and U should follow the BG on this too...
Those who don't eat non veg. Should replace their pointed teeth to flat teeth.
Less intelligent people always want to imitate God and there activities without knowing the proper fact and reason behind the activities.
Like lord Shiva once consumed POISON. Can any ordinary human do this ,No. So we should not try to imitate God. But We should always follow the instructions given by them. God has given enough instructions through his word in BHAGAVAD Gita and other scripture. Where he instructed to offer him only four type of eatable things i.e. Leaf, Flower, Fruit and water and consume it. This is why, we should always try to follow God's instructions carefully rather than imitating his activity.
So what......and who gave you the list of God's diet......why don't you request your Hindu people to close now the restaurants which serves non veg......they will throw you in garbage....better be silent....
instead of looking at the fact and trying to know the TRUTH ,,, some cheddis are already blaming him blindly... when in fact intelligent will look for the truth.
Sita kidnapped When laxman was busy in hunting deer for their lunch. This story clearly tells about their love for meat.
Very well said. If entire hindus studies their scripture they will become non-vegetarian and stops idol worship without any delay.
