Alleging that the Congress government led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had failed to take off even six months after coming to power, BJP veteran leader B.S. Yediyurappa on Thursday claimed that all the development works in the State had come to a standstill.
Mr. Yediyurappa, who addressed a press conference in Bengaluru days ahead of the commencement of the State tour by BJP leaders to assess the impact of drought, said the party would take up a struggle against the ineffectiveness of Congress government.
“The Siddaramaiah-led Congress government was formed in the State with enormous hopes. But it has failed in all fronts as it is struggling to implement its poll assurances. But for the free bus travel scheme for women, the government is yet to fully and properly implement other poll guarantees. Can the Chief <Minister name one big project that has been implemented in the last six months?” he wondered.
