Mangalore Feb 19: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah called for Kateel, Karandlaje to answer the people of the districts as to Why should the people of Mangalore and Udupi elect them.
He was speaking in the inaugural programme of the Congress workers convention held in Mangalore in Dakshina Kannada district.
Did Nalin Kumar Kateel raise his voice in Parliament for a single day in favour of the state? Did Shobha Karandlaje speak a single word on behalf of the state, the CM questioned.
There has never been a Prime Minister who lied like Modi in independent India. Has Modi fulfilled any of his promises so far? Helping the lives of the people, have you accomplished any single thing that will benefit the future of the country’s people ? CM Siddaramaiah asked these questions to the gathering.
Apart from inducing fights between castes and religions, has a single programme been implemented in the last ten years that will benefit the lives of common people? Has the Diesel-petrol price reduced? Has the cooking gas price reduced? Is the black money back? Did anyone get Acche Din ? The Chief Minister questioned the crowd to which the people shouted No, nothing.
155 crore women have travelled by bus for free with our first Guarantee Shakti scheme. The Chief Minister asked the people to give a single example of the BJP doing such pro people work in its history as well as in the present. The people replied with a No.
The CM sarcastically said that Modi, who had said that the state will go bankrupt due to guarantees, has now stolen our guarantee and now started chanting “Modi guarantee-Modi guarantee”.
