Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress, criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday, claiming that he only talks about himself and nothing else, even in the state of Karnataka.
He also sought to know why Modi was silent on the issue of corruption in Karnataka and never takes the name of his party’s Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, his predecessor B S Yediyurappa and the state Home Minister Araga Jnanendra.
Gandhi reminded the people that the 10 May Assembly elections in Karnataka is not about Narendra Modi but about their future and their children.
“Have you seen the meeting of the BJP? Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrives and does not take the name of any leader. The way I mention the name of former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Congress state president D K Shivakumar, or Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge, but Modi will never talk about their leaders,” Gandhi said at a public meeting here in Shivamogga district.
Every person of Karnataka is wondering why Modi is not taking the name of his own leaders including the state Home Minister Araga Jnanendra, who is contesting from Thirthahalli, Gandhi said.
“There are two reasons behind it. One is that Narendra Modi talks only about Narendra Modi.
