Ex-PM appreciates Siddu administration
Bengaluru, May 7: Former prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh appreciated the administration of Siddaramaiah government, which has given priority for social, health and education sectors.
Addressing the reporters at the KPCC office here on Monday, Dr Singh said that the Tender Sure scheme of the state government has changed the way of creating urban infrastructure. Metro transportation has improved considerably. Since the state government has proposed to earmark total 80 per cent of the planning expenditure, sub-urban railway project was kicked off. Though there was heavy traffic congestion due to vehicles and population, there were lot changes due to good policies, he said.
Since there is a complementary environment for creativity and entrepreneurship of Bengaluru, youth were attracted towards this city. Due to the concept of businessmen of Bengaluru, JnNURM scheme was introduced. The development of cities should be the priority of every government. But Modi government has seen satisfaction in declaring the programmes like Amrut, Smart City and others, he said.
Because of the new policies like Elevate, Bengaluru city has become new business capital of the country. Due to the support given to industries, it has attracted more investment and it is the front runner in investment compared any other state including Gujarat in the country. When Karnataka is leading the job creation, the centre is in so pathetic condition. Though Modi had promised of creating more than two crore jobs every year, in reality, the BJP government has removed the job opportunities, he said.
In the last four years, total 72 lakh jobs were cut because of Modi and his government’s irresponsible administration. In national level, the export of software was also declined. In 2015-16, it was declined to 7.3 per cent. Bengaluru and Karnataka have become a model to the entire country. Prime Minister Narendra Modi should learn some lesions even now and implement them, he hoped.
