Chitradurga: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 2 alleged that the Congress’s history is about appeasing terror and terrorists, and the party had allegedly questioned the country’s defence forces, when the surgical strikes and air strikes had been carried out.
Also accusing the Congress and JD (S) of encouraging terror, the Prime Minister said that they could never increase investment in Karnataka or create new opportunities for youth in the state. People of Karnataka should never forget Congress’ history and thinking. Congress’ history is about appeasing terror and terrorists. When the Batla House encounter happened in Delhi where terrorists died, there were tears in the eyes of Congress’ top most leader, Modi claimed.
Addressing a public meeting here, he said, When surgical strikes and air strikes happened, Congress raised questions on the capability of the country’s defence forces. In Karnataka, you have seen how Congress is encouraging terrorism. Congress had left Karnataka to the ‘rehemokaram’ (mercy) of terrorists. It is the BJP that broke the back of the terrorists, and has ended the game of appeasement,” he claimed adding that for a prosperous Karnataka, it was important for the state to be safe.
Union Minister A. Narayanaswamy and Davangere MP G. M. Siddeshwara among others were present.
