Calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi a ‘nalayak’ (useless), Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Sunday asked voters in Kolar if they should vote for such a person.
“Does it take Mr. Modi only to suggest to youth to sell pakodas? He made youth believe by promising two crore jobs. When jobs were sought after graduation, he asked the youth to sell pakoda. He has betrayed the faith of the youth. The educated youth have decided that the Prime Minister Modi is a nalayak,” the Chief Minister said at the election rally in Sidlaghatta to seek votes for Congress candidate K.V. Gowtham in Kolar Lok Sabha constituency.
Incidentally, Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyanka Kharge’s “nalayak” jibe at the Prime Minister had kicked up a row during the State Assembly elections last year. Mr. Siddaramaiah had then defended Mr. Kharge, who is the son of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge.
