Kundapur, Apr 4: “The Modi led BJP government which came to power by making only false promises in 2014 elections have not implemented even one of the promises. PM Modi has made the lives of ordinary people unstable with unscientific decisions such as note ban, GST implementation etc. He is indirectly responsible for the increase of black money. Using the sacrifices of soldiers guarding the nation for political campaign shows his nature,” said chief minister H D Kumaraswamy.
He was speaking after inaugurating conference of fisherwomen held on behalf of Congress and JD(S) coalition candidate at Kundapur Nehru Maidan on Wednesday, April 3.
Kumaraswamy further asked, “Why are the central government agencies unable to investigate the origin of several crores of black money that is held by BJP leaders, which is used to buy MLAs from opposition parties? PM Modi should place before the people the origin of Rs 550 crore held anonymously out of corporate bonds worth Rs 1,027 crore,”
“Modi who has not given a definite programme for the country can never become the Prime Minister again. Communal enmity for politics is being promoted in the coastal region. Our youths should not become victims of such lure. The coalition government has shown determination in its term to maintain peace in the coast. People should teach a lesson to the BJP candidate who did not pay attention to the growth of the constituency even after becoming Lok Sabha member for the entire term,” he said.
Coalition candidate for Udupi-Chikkamagaluru constituency Pramod Madhwaraj said that the economic condition of the country faced setback during the NDA rule.
“State government has increased compensation for deceased fishermen and brought about several other schemes. Modi government has not responded positively to any problems of fishermen including finding the missing fishermen. Why is Paresh Mestha case not solved even after a year since CBI started handling it? The people in the state should get the answer,” said former MLA K Gopal Poojary.
“Congress and JD(S) activists had carried bricks for Ram Mandir with devotion. Those who collected donations in its name are BJP and organisation heads. BJP should inform where the money and bricks have gone,” said former MLA U R Sabhapathi.
