‘Sidda Rupaiah’ govt pushing Karnataka towards bankruptcy: Modi
Ballary, May 3: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that ‘Sidda Rupaiah’ government in Karnataka has pushed the state towards bankruptcy.
Addressing the rally here on Thursday, the Prime Minister said that though the city is on the bank of Tunga-Bhadra river, the people were not getting water for drinking and crops. The government has failed to desilt the reservoir. Do you need such a government, he asked the people.
“We are assuring Ballari people that BJP will solve your problems. Not only Ballari, but the BJP is ready to provide water to all places. On the line of Maharashtra government, steps would be taken to desilt the Tunga-Bhadra reservoir”, he promised.
Anti-Dalit
The Congress is anti-dalit and it has not done anything for the welfare of dalits and backward classes. When the Centre planned to give Constitutional status to Backward Classes Commission, the Congress is opposing the move. It is not allowing the Bill to be passed in Rajya Sabha, he said.
Modi said that the Congress announced that it would make Mallikarjuna Kharge as chief minister only to garner the votes of dalits. But after the election, it did nothing. In the same way, it had cheated Lingayat leader S Nijalingappa. Siddaramaiah had come to Congress after tasting power in Lok Dal, Janata Dal and other parties. But it was BJP which made scientist Dr APJ Abdul Kalam and Ramanath Kovind as Presidents of the country. In the same way, it was BJP which made a person who came from backward class and selling tea as a prime minister, he said.
BJP is not anti-South
Some people ridicule that BJP is belonging to North India. But it has made Venkaiah Naidu who belongs to South India as Vice President, a woman Nirmala Sitaraman of Tamil Nadu as Defence Minister. The BJP has not neglected anybody, he said.
The BJP would come out with Rs 6000 crore project to encourage jeans industry in Ballari. Karnataka would be developed if Ballari is improved, he said seeking support for BJP.

ECI website faces outage amid vote counting in Jharkhand, Maharashtra
New Delhi: Election Commission of India’s official results website ‘results.eci.gov.in’ has reportedly experienced a technical outage on Saturday morning, at a time when India closely watches the high-stakes Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly poll battle.
Visitors visiting the site were met with non-functional links and a generic “counting in progress” message, leaving them without updated election data. The ECI has not issued an official explanation for the disruption.
Vote counting, which began at 8 a.m. with postal ballots, is underway for 288 assembly seats in Maharashtra and 81 in Jharkhand. Early trends suggest a lead for the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra, currently ahead in 141 seats, while the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) is leading in 96. In Jharkhand, the BJP-led NDA is ahead in 43 seats, while the ruling JMM-led alliance is trailing with leads in 33 constituencies.
Additionally, counting is underway for 48 assembly bypolls across 13 states and two parliamentary seats, Nanded in Maharashtra and Wayanad in Kerala.
