I won’t ask votes if I fail to give jobs: HDK
Vijayapura, May 4: If he failed to give job opportunities to every eligible youth after forming JDS government in the state, he would never ask people to his party again, said JDS state president HD Kumaraswamy.
Addressing the Vikasa Parva rally at Chadachana in the district on Friday, Kumaraswamy, who appealed the people to vote his party for alleviating unemployment problem, said that Siddaramaiah-led Congress government has failed to fill two and half lakh posts in the state. The Congress leaders have been trying to tarnish the image of the JDS in order to attract the votes of minorities. But JDS does not believe in castes. He would serve the people of the state if given an opportunity, he said.
JDS is neither in favour of Congress nor BJP. It is in favour of the people. A false case was booked against party candidate Devanand. The police have to face the music after JDS coming to power, he warned.
Farmers should not commit suicide fearing of loans recovery, because he was with them. “I won’t become the chief minister of the third floor Vidhana Soudha. I would come to your huts. Give me six months time after giving me the power. I would give 24 hours power supply to entire state, he said.
There is no word of 50:50. This time, the JDS will win the cup. Siddaramaiah is also communal due to which he has contested from Badami. Did Prime Minister Narendra Modi come to Karnataka just to give an opinion on JDS instead of speaking on the problems of the state. What is the contribution of Yogi Adityanath, Amith Shah to the state? Modi cannot fool the people of the state just by referring the noted personalities of the state, he said.

PM 'blatantly racist" by bringing in skin colour in poll debate: Chidambaram
New Delhi (PTI): Congress leader P Chidambaram on Thursday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of being racist by bringing in skin colour in the poll debate, and said the opposition's support to Yashwant Sinha in the presidential election was not based on the colour of skin.
In a post on X, he said in the last election to the office of President of India, there were two candidates - Droupadi Murmu and Sinha.
While the BJP and its allies supported Murmu, he said 17 Opposition parties, including the Congress, supported Sinha.
"Support for a candidate was not based on the colour of the skin. Opposition to a candidate was also not based on the colour of the skin.Support or opposition was a political decision, and every elector abided by the decision of his or her party," the former union minister said.
"Why did the Hon'ble PM bring the colour of the skin into the election debate," he asked.
"The PM's remarks are completely irrelevant and blatantly racist," the Congress leader alleged.
Prime Minister Modi on Wednesday attacked the Congress over its party leader Sam Pitroda's comments over skin colour and asserted that the countrymen would not tolerate insult on the basis of skin colour.
Hitting out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Modi said he has now understood that the national party sought to defeat President Murmu in the presidential poll as her "skin colour is dark".
Pitroda's comments that people in the eastern parts of the country resembled the Chinese, while those from the south looked like Africans had kicked up a row.
