Bengaluru,May 1: As Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to land in Karnataka on Tuesday for campaigning, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has a few questions for the prime minister.

Dear @narendramodi ಅವರೇ,

Heard you are visiting Namma Karnataka tomorrow. We welcome you to our state.

While you are here, we Kannadigas would like you to address the following concerns.

ದಯವಿಟ್ಟು #AnswerMaadiModi ಅವರೇ

In next tweet, Siddaramaiah asked Modi to clarify wheather Janardhan Reddy would campaign in support of B Sriramulu, the party candidate from Badami.

 


 

Scam-tainted Reddy has not been included in the BJP list, but will be campaigning for his “friend” Sirarmulu.

Speaking to reporters earlier, BS Yeddyurappa, the CM canidadte from BJP had said: “Janardhan Reddy has not been included in the electioneering list of the BJP. He is campaigning not for the party, but for his friend Sriramulu.”

Siddaramaiah then asked the prime minister if Yeddyurappa is still his party’s chief ministerial candidate, when he reportedly is unwilling to share a stage with the latter.

 


 

Hitting out at the series of advertisements that the BJP had taken out in newspapers promising action against rape accused in Karnataka, Siddaramaiah tweeted:

 


 

In UP’s Unnao rape case, BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar is an accused. Meanwhile in Kathua in Jammu and Kashmir, where an eight-year-old was raped and murdered, BJP leaders have been demanding a CBI probe, which is seen by many as a move to ‘shield the accused.’

Siddaramaiah, in his next tweet, criticised the shock demonetisation of November 2016, which left several people across the country in a limbo owing to cash-crunch. He also hit out at the prime minister for his ‘pakoda’ comment.

 


 

At the end of this tweet storm, Siddarmaiah asked one final question, criticising the NDA’s government’s farm relief package and the banking mess in the economy.

Davangere: Reports state that two groups engaged in stone pelting at each other during Ganesha idol immersion ceremony in Davangere on Thursday. Two police personnel were injured in the incident.

Few days ago, two groups of youth engaged in verbal altercation regarding raising of a flag for Eid Milad celebration. On account of the clashes, police had heightened security for the Ganesha procession. Despite the additional security, stones were pelted at the procession, sources stated. Inspector Gururaj and constable Raghavendra were injured in the incident. The procession continued after the police brought the situation to control. However, the stone pelting resumed once again as the procession surged forwards.

Security has been tightened up in the area and all shops have been closed down by the police. The two police personnel, who were injured in the stone pelting, are undergoing treatment at a hospital.
