Prime Minister Narendra Modi has hurt the dignity and self-esteem of the people of Karnataka. He should be taught a proper lesson, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has said.
Mr. Modi has insulted the pride of Kannadigas by ignoring the State’s genuine demands for calamity relief and devolution of a fair share of taxes. He has given nothing but an empty pot. He has deliberately acted in violation of the Constitutional principles of federalism. What is more, the BJP leaders are busy in dividing society on caste and communal lines, Mr. Siddaramaiah claimed.
“The people of Karnataka now have an opportunity to change Mr. Modi’s regime. People can give their response through the ballot. I am sure the people will trust the Congress this time,” he said in Belagavi on Sunday.
