Urge people of Karnataka to remain vigilant and beware of divisive politics of Congress: Modi
Bagalkot, May 6 (IBNS); Addressing a campaign rally in poll-bound Karnataka's Bagalkot city, Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed the Congress and asked the people of the state to remain 'vigilant and beware' of the' divisive politics' of the ruling party.
Attacking the Congress, Modi said: "In a democracy, to win or to lose is a part of elections. One must accept their defeat. But the Congress are 'Naamdaars'. They did not congratulate us, the 'Kaamdaars'. Such is their arrogance that they even did not pay a courtesy call to the President upon his win."
"I urge people of Karnataka to remain vigilant and beware of the divisive politics of the Congress. We will not accept any division of Karnataka on the grounds of caste," he said.
He alleged that the Congress is not paying any importance to the plight of the sugarcane farmers in the state.
"Look at the plight of sugarcane farmers in the Karnataka. The Congress government and the present Chief Minister is insensitive towards them. They did nothing for their welfare," Modi said.
He said the Congress mocks positive initiatives taken by the Centre like 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao'.
The Karnataka poll has virtually turned out to be a battle between present and former Chief Ministers, Siddaramaiah and Yeddyurappa.
The BJP is eyeing on to return to power in the state.
Karnataka is one of the last few strong holds of the Congress.
The poll will be held in a single phase on May 12. The counting of the votes will take place on Apr 15.
