Shivamogga, October 29: Lashing out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rajya Sabha Member and Congress leader B.K. Hariprasad said that when King became the businessman, the citizens would become beggars.
Speaking to reporters here on Monday, Hariprasad said that when Narendra Modi had visited Japan earlier, he had said that there was a businessman in every drop of his blood. According to Chanakya, when the King became the businessman, the citizens would become the beggars and the present situation would prove it, he said.
Narendra Modi-led Central Government has failed on all fronts. General people were finding it difficult to lead their life. One has to use telescope to find how many times Narendra Modi spoke about farmers and labourers in his four and half years administration, he said.
Modi has been telling that he would extend the Gujarat-model development to other states. Every day, more than 70 flights would fly from Bengaluru to Delhi. But only a few flights would fly from Ahmadabad to Delhi. Is it the Gujarat model development, he asked.
“There is nothing to learn from RSS. They speak lies often to make it truth. Former chief minister Yeddyurappa who presented farmers budget with green towel, fired against the farmers. The Congress-JDS candidates would win in all the constituencies including Shivamogga Lok Sabha constituency, he exuded confidence.
