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.
