I have never before seen a liar like Modi: Siddaramaiah
‘RSS, BJP, Sangh Parivar are dangerous to country’
Bengaluru, Jan 18: “I have never before seen such a big liar like Prime Minister Narendra Modi in my political career”, said former chief minister Siddaramaiah.
Speaking at the programme at the Palace Ground here on Friday, Siddaramaiah said that Narendra Modi who was rewarded as a big liar had become the prime minister of the country which is an insult to the people.
The world knew that PM Modi words and deeds were different. Even then, he has not given up false promises and false propaganda. Before his false propaganda would reach the people, the Congress workers and leaders should educate the anti-people policies of the Modi government, he appealed.
“RSS, BJP and Sangh Parivar organizations are dangerous to the country. In their history, these organizations have never done a single pro-people work. They have been creating communal clash by sowing seeds of castes and religions through which, they are trying to get power. Such a communal BJP should not come to power once again”, Siddaramaiah said.
“By cutting the job opportunities of youth in the country, the central government has increased the unemployment problem. At this time, it has introduced 10 per cent reservation to upper caste poor people. How can it give jobs to that 10 per cent people? This is another false promise”.
-Siddaramaiah, Former Chief MinisterAppeal to come together against BJP
Thousands of Congress workers, leaders, Ministers, MLAs, MPs, parliamentary secretaries and others came together on a single stage and opposed the central government’s anti-people’s policy.
The leaders were of the opinion that both Congress and JDS combine should win all the 28 Lok Sabha seats in the state, for which, the workers should reach every household and educate the people against the Rafale deal, looting of money in the name of Fasal Bima insurance scheme by the corporate companies, unemployment, demonetisation, GST impact on common people and others.

CM Siddaramaiah urges Centre to increase LPG supply
Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has urged the Centre to immediately intervene to address a severe shortage of commercial LPG in Bengaluru, saying the crisis is forcing restaurants and related establishments to shut down and impacting a wide cross-section of the public dependent on the hospitality sector.
In a letter written to Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Wednesday and shared with the media on Thursday, Siddaramaiah highlighted a sharp mismatch between demand and supply, noting that only a fraction of the required cylinders is being made available.
“As against the demand of 50,000 LPG cylinders from restaurants, hotels, catering establishments and PG accommodations etc., we are able to supply only 1,000 cylinders per day,” the Chief Minister said.

He added that the shortage has led to a visible increase in shutting down of establishments due to unavailability of commercial LPG, affecting students, IT professionals, farmers, dairy producers and others reliant on the hospitality ecosystem.
Referring to recent directions from the Ministry prioritising domestic LPG supply, Siddaramaiah said the State has taken steps to regulate allocation for essential segments in line with the Centre’s guidelines, but the situation remains critical.
The CM also flagged the absence of an integrated monitoring system for commercial LPG distribution, in contrast to the existing IT system for domestic gas supply, leading to gaps in transparency and oversight.
He further pointed out that Auto LPG, a key fuel for autorickshaws that provide last-mile connectivity in Bengaluru, is also facing similar issues due to the lack of a monitoring mechanism.
Noting that India is expected to receive two LPG tankers soon, Siddaramaiah sought the Union Minister’s intervention to ensure adequate allocation to Karnataka, particularly Bengaluru, considering its operational needs and dependency patterns.
“I request your kind intervention to ensure adequate allocation and availability of commercial LPG and Auto LPG to Karnataka, keeping in view the operational requirements and unique dependency patterns of the State, especially city of Bengaluru,” he said.
