Mangaluru: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday noted that the people cannot expect development from Karnataka’s JDS-Congress coalition government while terming it as ‘Khichadi government’.

He was addressing a conference of the party workers of four districts (Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Chickamagalur and Shimoga) in Mangaluru’s Nehru Maidan ahead of Lok Sabha elections in the country.

“The Central government wants to make India a powerful nation in terms of technology and economically rich country. Today, India is the fastest growing country in the world. The rate of inflation in the country has gone down considerably in last five years. 99% of homes now have toilets and India will soon be open defecation free country” Rajnath told party workers.

After Pulwama India won diplomatically over Pakistan:

Rajnath added that India won over Pakistan after the February 14 Pulwama attack. “Every country supported India against Pakistan. Even Pakistan’s own ally China did not support them. It was left isolated. It was a diplomatic victory for India” Rajnath added.

“IAF airstrikes were warning for Pakistan which provides shelter to terrorists. But our own opposition questions the credibility and seeks information about casualties in the attack. We are committed from eradicating terrorism from the country” he further added.

Taking a dig at the JDS-Congress coalition government, Rajnath termed it as ‘Khichadi’ government and added that it has fooled farmers by luring them to vote them to power by using debt waiver in their manifesto. He urged people to help Narendra Modi led BJP to win all 28 seats in the state.

Karnataka BJP President also addressed the conference and added that the Karnataka CM HD Kumaraswamy had betrayed the people of Karnataka and has failed to waive loans of farmers as promised by him before the elections. He also spoke about how HDK had betrayed BJP when they formed coalition government earlier.

Several party leaders attended the conference including Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, Udupi-Chikmagalur MP Shobha Karandlaje, B. S Raghavendra, Srinivas Poojary and other local and regional leaders of four districts.
