BENGALURU: Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Karnataka visit on January 19, Transport minister Ramalinga Reddy lashed out at the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP).
“Let the citizens of the country decide who will win in 2024 elections. The BJP leaders speak lies as the elections are coming. Prime Minister Narendra Modi hasn’t fulfilled his promise. He promised two crore jobs, and 15 lakh deposition in every account”, Ramalinga Reddy said.
The minister also highlighted that Congress is fulfilling its guarantees in the state. “We are fulfilling our promises and guarantees. it is not just about guarantees. Our party has a good image in Karnataka. the BJP has low credibility amongst people”, he said
Ramalinga Reddy further slammed the BJP and emphasised that the people in Karnataka lost trust in the BJP. “The BJP leaders don’t know how to address the people. They are only showing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s photos. He came to Karnataka only for 28 days. Home Minister Amit Shah visited Karnataka for 20 days for state elections. People haven’t voted for the BJP because they have lost trust in them. People voted for the Congress party. BJP leaders visit Karnataka only ahead of elections, otherwise, they forget about the people of Karnataka”, he said.
Notably, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu on January 19 and launch multiple development projects in the three states, said an official release on Wednesday.
