Siddaramaiah conspiring to win poll through ulterior motive: PM Modi
Chikmagaluru, May 9: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that despite losing almost all states in the country, AICC president Rahul Gandhi, UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi and CM Siddaramaiah are behaving in arrogance.
Addressing the election rally organized here on Wednesday, PM Modi said that the time has to wipe out the Congress from the country. In the last four years, the Congress has lost all elections. It was defeated in almost all states in Uttar Pradesh. Even then, the arrogance of the Congress leaders has not come down, he said.
AICC president Rahul Gandhi camped in Karnataka for Assembly election. He has been criticizing the BJP government at the centre and praising Siddaramaiah government. But being the Lok Sabha Member, he has forgotten the development of his constituency Amethi. Now, he has eyed on PM chair. He has the concern only on PM chair and not the country. Congress party has become Gandhi family and in Congress, the PM chair belongs to only Gandhi family, he blasted.
Both Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi were on bail in Rs 5000 crore fraud. The Congress has lost its ground when this scam was exposed. In May 12 election, Karnataka people would permanently send mother-son duo to home. As Siddaramaiah came to know about this truth, Siddaramaiah has conspired to win the election through ulterior motive. But people would not accept it, he said.
When the Congress did not have ground in North India, Indira Gandhi had come to Chikmagaluru where she had won the election and entered the Lok Sabha. After she had won the election, she did not visit her constituency once. What was her contribution to Chikmagaluru which had given political rebirth to her? In the same way, Sonia Gandhi had promised Ballary people that she would bring Rs 3000 crore package to develop the constituency. Has she fulfilled her promise, he asked.
When Modi began his speech in Kannada and wished the people, people yelled in joy. Before the stage programme, BJP workers took out a bike rally and procession in the city.
BJP candidates CT Ravi, MP Kumaraswamy, DS Suresh, Belli Prakash and Suresh were present. Thousands of party workers from Hassan, Beluru, Sakaleshpur, Chikmagalur, Sringeri, Mudigere, Tarikere, Kaduru assembly constituencies were present.
‘Cong doesn’t believe in democracy’
Earlier, the Congress had misused the power given to them in the country and engaged in misrule. The entire world has accepted the working style of Election Commission of India. But the Congress has been saying that the Election Commission is not good. According to it, only Congress is good in this country. EVMs are wrong, they are right. It has been saying that even CBI and NIA are also not good, he said.
It is unfortunate that the Congress does not have belief on Army and defence system of the country. The Congress has tarnished the image of the country before the world through Bofors scandal. It does not have faith on the judiciary. If the naxalites, jihadis and terrorists were cracked, the Congress would find fault in that act also. When the RBI implemented new economic policies, the Congress is criticizing that. When the entire country expressed good thing about India, Congress has been alleging that Modi has purchased the entire world leadership, he charged.

Priyanka Gandhi wins Wayanad LS seat in Kerala with margin of over 4.1 lakh votes
Wayanad(Kerala), Nov 23: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi on Saturday cruised to her maiden electoral victory, from the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat in Kerala, with a margin of over 4.1 lakh votes against CPI(M)-led LDF's Sathyan Mokeri, according to figures released by the Election Commission.
Priyanka got 6,22,338 votes which was less than the 6,47,445 votes received by her brother Rahul Gandhi in the Lok Sabha polls in Wayanad in April this year, but her victory margin of 4,10,931 was more than his lead of 3,64,422 votes, despite the decline in turnout in the Wayanad bypoll.
The LS poll turnout in Wayanad, which has over 14 lakh registered voters, was close to 74 per cent in April, but had declined to 65 per cent in the by-election in November.
In the 2024 Lok Sabha polls in Wayanad, CPI's Annie Raja had secured second place with 2,83,023 votes, while BJP's K. Surendran finished third with 1,41,045 votes.
However, both fronts were unable to replicate their performance in the bypoll, despite a reduced voter turnout in the hill constituency.
Mokeri got 2,11,407 and BJP-led NDA's Navya Haridas came third with 1,09,939 votes.
Close to the announcement of the final counting results, Priyanka, in a post on social media platform X, thanked the people of Wayanad for electing her as their representative to the Parliament.
"My dearest sisters and brothers of Wayanad, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the trust you have placed in me. I will make sure that over time, you truly feel this victory has been your victory and the person you chose to represent you understands your hopes and dreams and fights for you as one of your own. I look forward to being your voice in Parliament!
"Thank you for giving me this honour and even more for the immense love you have given me," she said.
In her post, Priyanka also thanked her colleagues in the UDF, leaders from across Kerala, workers, volunteers and everyone else who supported her and worked "incredibly hard" in her poll campaign, by "tolerating" her "12 hour a day (no food, no rest) car journeys, and for fighting like true soldiers for the ideals we all believe in".
"To my mother, Robert and my two jewels- Raihan and Miraya, no gratitude is ever enough for the love and courage you give me. And to my brother, Rahul, you are the bravest of them all… thank you for showing me the way and having my back, always," she said in her post on X.
My dearest sisters and brothers of Wayanad,
