Responding to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visits to Karnataka for Lok Sabha elections campaigning, Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge has said that Mr. Modi must speak of his government’s contribution to the State instead of simply visiting as a tourist.
“Mr. Modi must speak of what he has given to the State. He must respond to our concerns about injustice in tax devolution. He must answer why he has not released drought relief,” Mr. Kharge said.
He was speaking to media representatives at N.V. College Grounds in Kalaburagi on Thursday after taking stock of preparations for Friday’s public meeting to be addressed by All India Congress Committee president Mallikarjun Kharge, Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and Congress Kalaburagi Lok Sabha constituency candidate Radhakrishna Doddamani.
