PM Modi blames Congress for Bengaluru water crisis, Siddaramaiah responds

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah recently responded to the Prime Minister’s criticism, questioning where the Prime Minister was during Karnataka’s floods and droughts. The Prime Minister, during a rally in Bengaluru, accused the Congress of being “anti-investment, anti-entrepreneurship, anti-private sector, anti-taxpayer, anti-wealth creator” and emphasized his vision for the country’s development. He highlighted the BJP’s alliance with Janata Dal-Secular in Karnataka and assured the people of fulfilling their dreams, dedicating his life to the country. In response, Siddaramaiah criticized the Prime Minister’s absence during Karnataka’s natural disasters and accused the Congress of being a “tanker city” and neglecting urban infrastructure and corruption issues in Bengaluru.

The Prime Minister also accused the Congress government in Karnataka of promoting dangerous thoughts and ideology, citing recent incidents in the state. Siddaramaiah expressed concern over these statements and called for vigilance against the Congress party. Siddaramaiah responded sharply to the Prime Minister’s remarks in Chikkaballapur, disputing claims about the Congress deceiving farmers and highlighting the implications of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme in Karnataka. Siddaramaiah also raised concerns about the farmers’ movement in Delhi and questioned the Prime Minister’s stance on farmers’ welfare.

He criticized the BJP for being anti-farmer and emphasized the intelligence of Karnataka’s farmers in discerning their well-wishers.
