Modi is 'master of lies' and exploits people emotionally: CM Siddaramaiah
Mysuru (PTI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a 'master of lies' and alleged he did not fulfill any of the promises he made.
He claimed that people had realised that Modi spoke lies and exploits them emotionally.
Reacting to the Prime Minister's statement that the opposition wanted to bury him, Siddaramaiah said no one wants to make his graveyard. Instead, they are opposing him politically.
"He (Modi) had been the Prime Minister for the past 10 years. He did nothing for the poor. In addition to it, there are allegations that he is a 'master of lies' (Sullina Sardara) because he did not fulfill any of the promises he made," the Chief Minister told reporters here.
Other than defeating the Prime Minister, no one wants to build his graveyard, he explained.
Prime Minister Modi on Friday said at Nandurbar in Maharashtra that some in the opposition want to bury him alive and claimed the people of the country were his security shield and they won't let any harm come to him.
Siddaramaiah said the opposition will always wish to defeat him politically because the country did not develop under him and the condition of the poor has not improved.
"The PM is desperate. He is scared of defeat. Out of fear and desperation, he is talking gibberish," the Chief Minister said.
Siddaramaiah said the people have understood the Prime Minister and claimed that he has been exposed.
"People have understood that he (Modi) is lying to them and is talking in an emotional manner. People know that he is trying to exploit them emotionally. People won't vote after knowing this," the Chief Minister said.
He said those who have gone up will have to come down.

Airlines got 999 hoax bomb threats till Nov 14 this year; 256 FIRs filed: Govt
New Delhi, Nov 28: Airlines received 999 hoax bomb threats this year till November 14 and as many as 256 FIRs have been filed while guidelines have been issued by aviation security regulator BCAS for objective assessment of threats, the government said on Thursday.
In a written reply to the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Civil Aviation Murlidhar Mohol said a total of 1,148 hoax bomb threat messages/calls have been received since August 2022 till November 14, 2024 threatening the operations of international and domestic air travel.
While 999 threats were received by airlines during the period from January to November 14, 2024, the count stood at 122 last year and at 27 for the August-December 2022 period.
"256 FIRs have been filed since January 2024 till 14 November 2024, out of which 163 FIRs have been filed during 14 October- 14 November 2024. 12 arrests have been made in view of hoax bomb threat since January 2024 till 14 November 2024," the minister said.
The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) has issued guidelines for objective assessment of threats. The indicative factor has been useful in reducing time taken by the Bomb Threat Assessment Committee (BTAC) during the decision-making process.
"Also, to reduce the overall time taken for convening BTAC to less than 5 minutes, virtual assembly of BTAC through pre-generated video link has been set up. Further, advisories for compulsory 10 per cent of secondary ladder point check-in for all flights, strict monitoring of non-scheduled flight operations, enhanced security measures and surveillance at cargo terminals were issued," Mohol said.
Further, the minister said the government is considering amending the Aircraft (Security) Rules, 2023 to put hoax threat messenger in the no-fly list.
"It is also being considered to amend Suppression of Unlawful Acts against Safety of Civil Aviation for covering Aircraft in flight as well as on ground, airport etc," he added.
