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.

Kalaburagi (Karnataka), Nov 28: Kalaburagi Jail Chief Superintendent R Anitha on Thursday said that an unknown person sent an audio message via a police inspector claiming that they will blow up her car.

However, police said they have not received any complaints in this regard.

Speaking to reporters here, Anitha said, "Somebody has sent an audio message to the police inspector saying that they will blow up my car. I personally did not receive any such message so far, so I would not be lodging any police complaint."

Following the alleged threat, Anitha said she would be more cautious now.

Last month, after Anitha took charge as the Chief Superintendent of Jail, raids were conducted and searches were intensified after photographs and video clips purportedly showing three inmates getting special treatment in the Kalaburagi Central prison went viral on social media.

Following the raids, cell phones, gutka and cigarette packets and beedis were seized from the inmates.
