Bidar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 29 said that the grand old party lacks capability to understand poverty and is full of negativity, while also accusing it of doing politics on development.
This election is to make Karnataka the number one state in the country. This election is to decide the role of Karnataka in the making of a developed India. India will be developed when every corner of Karnataka will be developed, he said addressing the public meeting programme in Bidar.
Prime Minister accused Congress and Janata Dal (Secular), which are contesting the Karnataka Assembly elections separately, of harbouring hatred for farmers and said that they created obstructions in the implementation of the central scheme for farmers.
“Congress will never understand the struggle and pain of the poor. Congress slowed the pace of houses here. They have not seen poverty. Congress is the party which does politics in the name of development and is full of negativity. Congress had only made fake promises to the farmers and people of Karnataka, PM Modi said while addressing an election rally here.
“When we started this scheme (Kisan Samman Nidhi), there was a Congress-JDS Government here. But they created obstructions in sending the list of the beneficiary farmers. Can you imagine how much hatred Congress-JDS have for the farmers? The State Government did not have to spend any money. We were sending money from Delhi. The problem they had was that the money was going directly into the bank accounts of the farmers,” he added.
