I have asked Deve Gowda not to commit suicide: Modi
‘JDS is day dreaming of forming government’
Tumakuru, May 5: “During 2014 Lok Sabha election, former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda had said that he would commit suicide if am elected as the Prime Minister. After becoming the Prime Minister, I met Deve Gowda and asked him not to commit suicide as he needs to live for long time. But now, he is criticizing the BJP”, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Addressing an election rally here on Saturday, Modi lashed out at Congress and JDS throughout his speech. Beginning his speech in Kannada, Modi recalled Dr Siddaganga Seer, scientist Dr Rajaramma, theatre artists Gubbi Veeranna, sculptor Jakanachari, BJP leaders Rajachar, Borappa and others.
The alliance between the Congress and JDS in BBMP election itself is a proof for their pre-poll alliance in this Assembly election. All surveys predicted third place for JDS. Even then, it is day dreaming of coming to power, he ridiculed.
Right from Indira Gandhi, Congress has been chanting the mantra of poor. But poverty was not alleviated. In the name of the poor, the Congress ministers have looted the treasury and increased their wealth. But when a son of a common man became the Prime Minister of the country in 2014, the Congress leaders have forgotten the poor, but speaking about the farmers. It was the Congress which ruled the country for almost 70 years. What contribution did the Congress give to the farmers and why did it fail to check the farmers suicide, he asked attributing the present plights of the farmers to the unscientific policies of the Congress.
Out of seven Smart Cities, Tumkuru is also one in the state. The centre has already released Rs 830 crore required for the project to the state government. But the state government did not spend that amount for the purpose. It has spent just Rs 12 crore for seven Smart City Projects. If the BJP came to power, these schemes would be taken up on priority, he promised.
