‘Sidda Rupaiah’ govt pushing Karnataka towards bankruptcy: Modi
Ballary, May 3: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that ‘Sidda Rupaiah’ government in Karnataka has pushed the state towards bankruptcy.
Addressing the rally here on Thursday, the Prime Minister said that though the city is on the bank of Tunga-Bhadra river, the people were not getting water for drinking and crops. The government has failed to desilt the reservoir. Do you need such a government, he asked the people.
“We are assuring Ballari people that BJP will solve your problems. Not only Ballari, but the BJP is ready to provide water to all places. On the line of Maharashtra government, steps would be taken to desilt the Tunga-Bhadra reservoir”, he promised.
Anti-Dalit
The Congress is anti-dalit and it has not done anything for the welfare of dalits and backward classes. When the Centre planned to give Constitutional status to Backward Classes Commission, the Congress is opposing the move. It is not allowing the Bill to be passed in Rajya Sabha, he said.
Modi said that the Congress announced that it would make Mallikarjuna Kharge as chief minister only to garner the votes of dalits. But after the election, it did nothing. In the same way, it had cheated Lingayat leader S Nijalingappa. Siddaramaiah had come to Congress after tasting power in Lok Dal, Janata Dal and other parties. But it was BJP which made scientist Dr APJ Abdul Kalam and Ramanath Kovind as Presidents of the country. In the same way, it was BJP which made a person who came from backward class and selling tea as a prime minister, he said.
BJP is not anti-South
Some people ridicule that BJP is belonging to North India. But it has made Venkaiah Naidu who belongs to South India as Vice President, a woman Nirmala Sitaraman of Tamil Nadu as Defence Minister. The BJP has not neglected anybody, he said.
The BJP would come out with Rs 6000 crore project to encourage jeans industry in Ballari. Karnataka would be developed if Ballari is improved, he said seeking support for BJP.

Kane scores hat trick and Bayern extends Bundesliga lead to 11 points
Berlin (AP): Harry Kane was substituted in at the hour mark and still had enough time to score a hat trick on Saturday.
The England captain took his goal tally for Bayern Munich this season to 28 and the defending champions extended their lead to 11 points after thrashing Stuttgart 5-0 on the road.
Second-placed Leipzig later hosted Eintracht Frankfurt.
With Kane on the bench, Konrad Laimer took on the scoring duties and produced a superb finish. The Austria midfielder collected a long ball and combined with Michael Olise before slotting home from close range with a subtle backheel past goalkeeper Alexander Nübel in the 11th minute.
Kane made it 2-0 with a low shot into the bottom corner and Josip Stanišic added his name to the scoresheet. Kane added further luster to the win from the penalty spot after Stuttgart was reduced to 10 men for Lorenz Assignon using his arm to clear a ball in the 81st.
Kane completed the rout with a flick from an Olise cross with two minutes left. He has found the net five more times with England this season, taking his total to 33 goals for club and country.
Stuttgart had chances before halftime but lacked a cutting edge. Midfielder Nikolas Nartey thought he equalized only for his goal to be ruled out for offside after a VAR check.
Bayern Munich is unbeaten in 16 league and cup games against German opposition this season.
