Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the BJP’s campaign for Lok Sabha elections 2024 in Karnataka from Kalaburagi, the home turf of Congress president and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha M. Mallikarjun Kharge.
Addressing a gathering at N.V. College Ground in Kalaburagi on March 16, on the same day that the schedule of Lok Sabha elections was announced, the Prime Minister trained his guns on the Congress-led government in Karnataka. He said, “The law and order in the State is out of order. Anti-social thoughts are openly protected. Fear is being created in people’s minds. People are suffering, and Congress is busy in looting. Soot can go away from coal, but corruption cannot go away from Congress.”
Alleging widespread corruption in Karnataka, he said, “Bad governance, disorder and anarchy start spreading in all directions when the entire capital of the entire State is being used for filling the belly, pockets and treasury of a few people. Congress had promised free electricity, but people got power cut and darkness. Farmers are asking how their pump sets in the field would operate when there is no power supply.”
