Karnataka’s growth stuck in Bengaluru’s traffic: Amit Shah

Bengaluru, Apr 20: BJP chief Amit Shah on Thursday mocked Congress president Rahul Gandhi for his “ignorance” and his incorrect pronunciation of Sir M Visvesvaraya’s name.

Shah’s ridicule came during his address to trade and industry representatives here.

“Rahul has been repeatedly saying that the BJP had waived off loans borrowed by industrialists while not doing so for farmers in distress. I challenge Rahul...let him prove that a single industrialist’s loan has been waived. Rahul baba doesn’t understand the difference between a non-performing asset (NPA) and a loan waiver. He’s misleading the country because of his ignorance,” Shah said. “Let him first learn to pronounce Visvesvaraya’s name.”

Shah also blasted Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for “sleeping all the time” and demanded an account of what his government had done with the money the Centre had sent for Karnataka. “Siddaramaiah goes to Delhi and gives Rahul an injection. Rahul asks Prime Minister Narendra Modi what the BJP had done for Karnataka in the last four years. In reality, Siddaramaiah has to provide an account because Karnataka’s growth is stuck in Bengaluru’s traffic,” he said.

While hailing the city as a destination where India’s youth competed with their global counterparts, Shah accused Siddaramaiah for “destroying Bengaluru.”

Shah also responded to criticism that the Modi administration had not created enough jobs. “Wherever I go, I’m asked about employment. No government can give 100% employment, but the Modi government has provided an avenue for self-employment through the Mudra scheme. It has benefitted nine crore youth with guarantee-free loans,” he said.

New Delhi, April 5: Former Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy on Sunday challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to offer a "credible scientific and rational" explanation for his candle-lighting call and said he is giving "meaningless tasks" to an already exhausted population.

The JD(S) leader questioned if the Prime Minister asked the nation to observe a candle-light vigil on the eve of foundation day of BJP.

"Has the PM slyly asked the nation to observe a candle light vigil on the eve of foundation day of BJP? April 6 being its foundation day, what else can explain the choice of date & time for this event? I challenge the PM to offer a credible scientific and rational explanation," Kumaraswamy tweeted.

"The government is yet to provide PPEs for doctors and make test kits affordable for the common man. Without telling the nation what concrete steps are being taken to combat COVID-19 menace, the prime minister is giving meaningless tasks to an already exhausted population," he tweeted.

"It is shameful to convert the national crisis into an event of self aggrandizement & it is beyond shameful to push the hidden agenda of his party in the face of global calamity. May sense prevail upon the PM," the JDS leader said in another tweet.

Amid a nationwide COVID-19 lockdown, Prime Minister Modi on Friday appealed to countrymen to light diyas and candles on April 5 at 9 pm to fight the darkness spread by the pandemic. He asked the people to turn off all the lights in their homes and stand at doors or balconies and light candles or diyas, torches or mobile flashlights for 9 minutes on April 5.

Last month, PM Modi had asked the people to come out in their balconies and clap and beat utensils to show appreciation for doctors, nurses and others helping fight coronavirus on 'Janata Curfew'.
