Congress will be vanquished in Karnataka and they will use excuse of rigging : PM Modi
Vijayspura, Karnataka, May 8 (IBNS) : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that the Congress will use excuses like rigged EVMs after it suffers defeat in the Karnataka Assembly elections.
Addressing an election rally on the last leg of his campaign for Karnataka Assembly polls, he alleged that ministers of the Siddaramaiah government in the state were busy in Delhi doing politics when the state was suffering due to droughts.
"After they are defeated in Karnataka. The Congress will use excuses like rigged EVMs. I want to ask them, what have they done for the farmers of Karnataka?" media reports quoted him as saying.
"When the state was suffering due to droughts, Ministers handling key portfolios were busy in Delhi doing politics. Can you name a single minister of Karnataka who has not been alleged of corruption? Everyone knows about the nexus between the contractors and the irrigation Minister. I want to add that it is the Saints, Seers and Mutts who have played a key role in making the society of Karnataka progressive and harmonious. They have worked to remove human suffering," he said.
Continuing with his attack on the Congress on the corruption issue, Modi said : “Can you name a single minister of Karnataka who has not been alleged of corruption? Everyone knows about the nexus between the contractors and the irrigation Minister."
" I want to add that it is the saints, seers and mutts who have played a key role in making the society of Karnataka progressive and harmonious. They have worked to remove human suffering," Modi said.
The PM will round off his election campaign in the state on Tuesday by addressing three rallies. Election in Karnataka will be held on May 12.
