Chitdradurga: Union Minister A. Narayanaswamy has made a bold statement challenging anyone to provide evidence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi promising to deposit 15 lakhs in every individual's account. He added that if such evidence is produced, he would retire from politics.

During a conversation with reporters, Narayanaswamy highlighted that there is existing evidence of Karnataka politicians Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar discussing and guaranteeing certain benefits during the state elections. He emphasized that they had made door-to-door promises and signed documents to that effect, and that’s why they are being questioned.

His response came in the wake of Congress suggesting the BJP to fulfill PM Modi’s promise of depositing 15 lakh rupees in everyone’s account as a response to the saffron party’s repeat attacks on Congress regarding its polls promises.

Accusing the Congress party of orchestrating a scheme to keep voters dependent and waiting in queues for handouts, Narayanaswamy criticized their election victory, stating that it was based on these guarantees rather than principles.
