Tumakuru, May 9: BJP president Amith Shah said that as the JDS could not dethrone the corrupt Siddaramaiah-led Congress government in the state, people of Karnataka should vote BJP for overall development of the state.

Addressing an election rally at Hebbur village in Tumkuru rural constituency on Wednesday, Shah said that the only way to check the corrupt Congress is electing BJP which has given 117 programmes for the youth. As Siddaramaiah realized his defeat in Chamundeshwari, he has gone to Badami. BJP candidate Sriramulu would defeat Siddaramaiah there also. Siddaramaiah was trying to win the election by distributing money which is not possible, he said.

Siddaramaiah who claims himself as socialist has a watch worth Rs 40 lakh and he was telling that it was gifted to him by one of his friends. But he should tell as to why the watch was gifted to Siddaramaiah. Moreover, Siddaramaiah did not disclose about this watch in his affidavit while filing his nomination papers. He has not spoken about this issue. In the entire country, Siddaramaiah is the No.1 corrupt. He has looted in the name of farmers, unemployed, and the poor and it is 10 per cent government, he said.

Tumakuru rural candidate B Suresh Gowda, ZP vice president Sharada Narasimhamurthy, taluk panchayat president Ganganjaneya and others were present.
