PM Modi's chair is shaking following first phase of elections, says Minister Priyank Kharge
Kalaburagi: Minister Priyank Kharge of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj highlighted the pressing issues of education, youth employment, social equality, and women empowerment during a recent address in Kalaburagi North. Speaking in support of Congress candidate Radhakrishna, Kharge stressed on the implementation of five guarantee schemes by the current government and urged voters for their support.
Kharge criticised the previous BJP government's focus on divisive issues such as azan, hijab, halal cut, and Jhatka cut, contrasting it with the Congress's focus on welfare programs. He questioned whether the BJP had ever prioritised women's empowerment and youth employment.
Addressing the elections, Kharge remarked on Prime Minister Modi's perceived vulnerability following the first phase of the elections. He accused Modi of resorting to falsehoods during campaigning in states like Chhattisgarh and Goa, asserting that the Congress would challenge the BJP's dominance.
Congress candidate Radhakrishna Doddamani echoed Kharge's sentiments, urging voters to turn out in large numbers to secure victory.
The event was attended by Medical Education Minister Dr. Sharanprakash Patil, MLA Kaneez Fatima, DCC President Jagdev Guttedar, Bhanu Pratap Singh, and others.
