Chamarajanagar/ Kalaburgi : With prime minister’s arrival the temperatures on the political battle ground in the state are soaring , where both national parties trying to gain ground and forge ahead.

Setting the tone, PM said, “Where there is Congress, all roads that lead to development are blocked. There is only family politics, corruption and lack of harmony,” Modi told a BJP rally on May 1 in Santhemarahalli village in Chamarajanagar district.

Downplaying PM’s rallies in state, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said in Kalaburgi that he has no objection with his rallies, while adding that it would not have any impact on the people of the state.

Siddaramaiah further hit out at Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government and cornered it over the appointment of Lokpal and Lokayukta.

“What moral right does BJP have to talk about corruption? For last 4 years, the Central Government has not appointed a Lokpal. When he was the Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi never appointed Lokayukta,” he added.

Further training guns at BJP chief ministerial candidate, Siddaramaiah said, “There are cases against Yeddyurappa so better he goes to jail. I have not done any crime. They (BJP) talk CBI inquiry but don’t do anything. The CBI is under them. They have a split tongue,” Siddaramaiah said.

Talking of Lokayukta, PM Modi said, “When the Lokayukta in the state is not safe, how can one expect the common people to be safe under the Congress government?”, holding the state government responsible for the collapse of Law and order in Karnataka.

Further, Modi mocked CM Siddaramaiah for contesting from two seats. Fear of losing prompted the CM to contest in another, he said.

CM took to twitter in response, “Was it fear that drove you to contest from 2 parliamentary constituencies (Varanasi & Vadodara) Mr. PM @narendramodi? Of course you are a 56 inch man; you would have some clever explanation!!

Forget 2 seats, Sir. Worry about the fact that your party will not cross 60-70! , he tweeted further.

Prudent state electorate holding cards close to the chest, uncertainty over eventual victor runs deeper now than ever before!
