Bengaluru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi who accused the Congress government in the state of corruption during the BJP's parivartana rally held in Bengaluru recently.
Delivering his talk during the rally, the PM had said that the Congress government in the state has failed in all aspects. "The Congress CM has only done business here. People are seeing how the Congress has run the government this last four years. They have ruled for only self-interest."
Criticising the prime minister, Siddaramaiah wrote on Twitter " Dear Narendra Modi, being the prime minister of the country, your words should carry high credibility, I would, therefore, request you to substantiate your allegation that ‘corruption and misgovernance are rampant' [in Karnataka] with facts."
