Modi has no development to show people after 10-year term: Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah expressed confidence in the Congress's prospects of winning seats in at least 20 constituencies, including Mysore-Kodagu and Chamarajanagar, in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. He made these remarks while addressing a gathering of ministers, former ministers, MLAs, former MLAs, district heads, board presidents, block leaders, and other representatives from Mysore, Kodagu, and Chamarajanagar on Sunday.
Siddaramaiah assured the attendees that both Mysore and Chamarajanagar, traditionally strongholds of the Congress, would remain with the party this time. He cited previous losses by narrow margins but expressed optimism that the public's dissatisfaction with the BJP would lead to different results this time. Siddaramaiah credited Congress's relief measures for addressing the distress caused by price rises during the BJP's tenure.
The Chief Minister cited internal surveys predicting victories in 20 constituencies, including Mysore and Chamarajanagar, and emphasized the importance of unified efforts for achieving unprecedented results.

Commenting on the BJP's reliance on branding Prime Minister Modi, Siddaramaiah criticized the lack of significant achievements during Modi's governance and accused the party of exploiting religious sentiments for electoral gains. He stressed the need for a society free from inequality and criticized BJP for exacerbating divisions along religious and caste lines.
Regarding the BJP-JDS alliance, Siddaramaiah questioned former Prime Minister Devegowda's decision to align with BJP despite previous statements against Modi. He advised reevaluating the party's secular credentials in light of recent developments.
“Devegowda had once said that he would leave the country if Modi was elected PM. The man who once said he wanted to be Muslim in the next birth has allied with BJP now. His son-in-law is also sent to BJP. It’s better to remove the word ‘secular’ from the party,” he added.
Siddaramaiah also highlighted the neglect shown by the Union Government towards Karnataka, citing delays in drought relief assistance and denial of essential aid despite the state's prolonged drought conditions.
The gathering was attended by several prominent leaders, including Social Welfare Minister H C Mahadevappa, Animal Husbandry Minister K Venkatesh, KPCC Working President Tanveer Sait, Committee for Implementation of Guarantee Schemes Vice-president Pushpa Amarnath, Ashraya Scheme President and Former MLA Yathindra Siddaramaiah, and Mysore Lok Sabha candidate Lakshman.
