Bengaluru, May 4: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that first BJP leaders should appeal Prime Minister Narendra Modi to fulfill the assurance of crediting Rs 15 lakh to the bank accounts of each citizen.

Responding to the BJP’s proposal of waiving of Rs 1 lakh crop loan of farmers in its manifesto in the Twitter, Siddaramaiah said that farmers would not require the promise of waiving Rs 1 lakh crop loan. Instead, let the BJP leaders apprise Modi to fulfill the old promise of crediting Rs 15 lakh into bank accounts. When Yeddyurappa was asked to waive of farmers loan during BJP government, the latter said that he did not have note printing machine. Does Yeddyurappa get the note printing machine now, Siddaramaiah asked.

In its manifesto, BJP has promised of waiving of crop loan up to Rs 1 lakh, 10 hour three-phase power for farmers pump sets every day, Reintroducing Karnataka Ban on Cow Slaughter and Protection Act 2012 and others.

Ranchi(PTI): The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has emerged as a surprise element in the Jharkhand assembly elections with its candidates leading in five of the six seats where the party is contesting, according to trends available on the Election Commission's website on Saturday.

RJD candidates in five assembly seats were leading over sitting BJP legislators.

In 2019, RJD had secured only the Chatra seat where its nominee Satyanand Bhokta won.

In Deoghar, RJD’s Suresh Paswan was leading by 19,581 votes over his nearest rival and BJP's sitting MLA Narayan Das after the third round of counting.

RJD’s Sanjay Prasad Yadav was ahead by 19,867 votes in Godda over BJP MLA Amit Kumar Mandal after the sixth round of counting.

In Koderma, RJD nominee Subhash Prasad Yadav, who was out on bail, was leading by a margin of 3,471 votes over BJP’s sitting legislator Neera Yadav.

Subhas Prasad Yadav, considered to be one of the close aides of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad, was recently granted bail by the Supreme Court in a money laundering case.

Party’s Naresh Prasad Singh was leading by 5,159 votes after the fourth round of counting over BJP’s Bishrampur MLA Ramchandra Chandravanshi.

RJD's Sanjay Kumar Singh Yadav was also leading from Hussainabad by 8,213 votes after the fourth round of counting over BJP MLA Kamlesh Kumar Singh.

Party’s candidate Rashmi Prakash, however, was trailing from Chatra by 3,776 votes.

Bhokta did not contest the elections this time, and his daughter-in-law Prakash was given a ticket.
