BIDAR: In a sharp attack on the Congress government in the state, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Karnataka president BY Vijayendra claimed that the Congress party has “lost its existence” in the country, while asserting the global recognition of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.
Speaking to the media, Vijayendra accused the ruling Congress government of neglecting development in Bidar district. “The Congress party has lost its existence in the country. The whole world knows the power of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP. There is no development in the Bidar district. When the BJP was in power, we gave a thousand crores in grants to Bidar. Let’s discuss how many crores the Congress government has given after coming to power”, he said.
Recently, in Kalaburagi, Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge targeted the BJP, alleging that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not undertaken any development work for Kalyana Karnataka region and will not do so.
“The central BJP government has failed to deliver, over the last ten years, the kind of development I have achieved in just one year. Despite providing free land, water and electricity for the construction of a train coach factory in Kadechuri, the Modi government is ignoring the issue by not releasing funds. We have brought more than 27 trains from Kalaburagi to various parts of the country. But despite our request to run additional trains from Kalaburagi to Bangalore, the central government is not responding”, he said.
“The people of Srinivasa Saradagi village have freely given up their lands for the construction of Kalaburagi airport. Now, no flights are coming here. The Modi government is not showing any will to start regular flight services to Kalaburagi. But the central government is only interested in one thing, and that is conducting IT and ED raids on opposition leaders”, Mallikarjun Kharge said. (ANI)
