Bengaluru, Apr 1: Alleging that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going before the people seeking votes banking on the emotional issues, former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah predicted that the united Opposition front will come to power after the General Elections.

Speaking at Meet-the-Press organised by the Press Club Bengaluru here on Monday, the Congress leader charged that "in the last five years the NDA government at the Center has failed to deliver and keep up promises made before coming to power in 2014."

Charging that Modi government failed to generate job opportunities, Small and Medium Industries facing threat of extinction, he said that "A serious attempts were made to derail several constitutional institutions, including that of Election Commission of India, RBI and CBI".

While the RSS and BJP leaders are talking about changing the Indian Constitution, the Prime Minister was doing his best to implement their hidden agenda, the Congress leader said.

Maintaining that people of the country will reject the divisive forces and the agenda of the NDA government and that of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said that "there is no Modi wave in any part of the country and non-BJP parties will assume power at the Center after the elections. Narendra Modil will not become Prime Minister again," he added.

Pooh Poohing the Prime Minister's assertion that he is the Chowkidar of the Country, he said that "Modi, had not made anything which had brighten the future of the poor, downtrodden and vulnerable sections in the society. Rather than Chowkidar of the nation, Prime minister is working as servant of Adani and Ambanis," he added.

Referring to the Congress-JD(S) coalition government in the State, the former Chief Minister said that "the coalition government will continue and complete its five-year term in Karnataka".

While accepting that the kind of synergy which is being witnessed at the top level leaders of the Congress and the JD(S) is not seen at the grassroot level, he said that "It will take some time and gradually all the misconception and hesitation among the rank and file of the both the parties will disappear."

He also expressed confidence that the Congress-JD(S) combine will win majority of the Lok Sabha seats in Karnataka.

Bengaluru, Feb 24: Raising questions about the situation in Kashmir, senior Congress leader and former Karnataka chief minister Sidddaramaiah on Monday asked the BJP heading the union government to prove 'normalcy' by hosting US President Donald Trump's event in the valley.

If @BJP4India feels Kashmir has returned to Normalcy, & If @BJP4India feels that there is no govt orchestrated violence. Now is the time to prove the same by hosting @realDonaldTrump's event at Kashmir, Siddaramaiah tweeted.

Amid concerns raised by opposition parties, the government has said efforts have been made to restore normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir which faced months of restrictions after its special status under Article 370 was scrapped in August last year.

Siddaramaiah, who is Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Assembly, in another tweet hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the long wall built near the airport in Ahmedabad allegedly to block the view of a slum, ahead of Trump's visit.

It is time for @realDonaldTrump to get inspired from @narendramodi. Inspiration to build decorative walls to hide not so decorative life!! he tweeted. The opposition Congress in Gujarat had accused the BJP- ruled civic body in Ahmedabad of building the 500-meter long wall to block the view of a slum colony. Refuting the allegations, AMC officials had said the construction of the wall, around four feet in height, was approved much before Trump's Gujarat visit was finalised.

Trump, accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump and a high-level delegation, arrived in Ahmedabad around noon on Monday for a little less than a 36-hour-long trip.
