Karnataka needs "mission" government not "commission" government: Modi
Mysuru: Attacking the Congress government in Karnataka as a "commission" government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said the welfare of the people was never a priority for it and the state needs a "mission" government under the BJP to ensure all-round development.
Addressing a public meeting after dedicating various railway projects here, he said, "As long as there is a Congress government in Karnataka, the state cannot progress. Karnataka does not require a 'commission' government but a 'mission' government led by the BJP which will ensure all-round progress of the state. Congress has ruined the state and people will teach them a lesson in these elections.”
"For over fifty years, it was only one party that ruled the country. What is the reason that about four crore families still lack power supply? Why have they not ensured their well-being for all these years," he asked adding that the country can never repose faith in the Congress.
The Prime Minister said that creating a railway system which is modern and technologically advanced is vital. "We are strengthening the railway networks across the country. Karnataka too is benefiting from it."

PBKS beat RCB by five wickets in IPL
Bengaluru, Apr 18 (PTI): Punjab Kings defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru by five wickets in their rain-curtailed Indian Premier League match here on Friday.

In reply, PBKS completed the chase in 12.1 overs with Nehal Wadhera making a brisk 33 off 19 balls. Josh Hazlewood (3/14) bowled brilliantly for RCB, but his effort was not enough.
Earlier, RCB lost wickets at regular intervals with the likes of Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Marco Jansen doing the bulk of the damage for the visiting team.
