‘Never seen any other PM who Lies like PM Narendra Modi’ – Siddaramaiah

Udupi: “Prime Minister Narendra Modi has spent last 5 years just lying. If there’s any PM in the world who lies the most, it is Modi”, said Siddaramaiah, the former chief minister and opposition party leader. He was addressing the party workers meet at Town Hall, Ajjarkad on November 6.

Addressing the party workers Siddaramaiah said, “The BJP, in the span of five years, has not done any work. Modi, too, has not done any work for the people of the country and has merely misguided them. The Constitution and democracy are in danger ever since Modi became the Prime Minister. Like Hitler, the BJP is a fascist party that doesn’t believe in democracy”.

Siddaramaiah further said, “Trump had recently praised Modi as a patriot in New York when both the leaders met. If Modi is a ‘patriot’, he should have protested immediately against Trump while describing him as “Father of the Nation” instead of Gandhi”.

Opposing the state government’s move to ban Tipu’s lesson in school history books and discontinuing Tipu Jayanti celebrations across the state Siddaramaiah said, “It is unfortunate that the BJP government has decided to remove the Tipu lesson and stop celebrating Tipu’s birthday as part of its ideological agenda for vote bank politics though he was the first freedom fighter who fought the British to remain independent.

When BS Yeddyurappa was in the KGP, he had held a sword in his hand and disguised himself as Tipu. BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje, who is now calling Tipu an anti-Hindu was also with BSY at that time. Tipu was not recognized just because he was from a minority community but because of his contribution as a ruler. He fought bravely against the British and initiated many development works. Tipu Sultan was the country’s first freedom fighter. The BJP and RSS did not participate in the freedom struggle, is not understandable…Tipu Sultan was a martyr who was martyred while fighting the British. The leaders of the BJP, who have embraced communalism in their heads, are ignorant of history, he said.

When former vice-chancellor Sheikh Ali wrote a book on Tipu Sultan, former chief minister Jagadish Shettar had written a foreword to the book praising the valour of Tipu. Shettar had called Tipu a patriot. Now, he is changing his tune. By politicizing Tipu issue, the true face of BJP leaders has come to the fore. Those who do not have knowledge of history cannot create history, he said.

Expressing confidence of winning 12 of the total 15 Assembly seats in the forthcoming byelections, Siddaramaiah predicted that mid-term elections would be held for the State Assembly soon in which the Congress would register a thumping victory. People are unhappy, they would teach a lesson to the BJP for the ‘misgovernance’ in the byelections.

KPCC president Dinesh Gundu Rao addressing the gathering said, “When Congress was in power, not a single government cheque bounced in five years. He ridiculed demonetization and called the implementation of GST “unscientific” while blaming the central government for the economic slowdown in the country. Former PM Manmohan Singh had cautioned against demonetization, which, he said, would lead to a drop in the GDP. PM Modi neither consults economists nor listens to suggestions by experts. If anyone opposes the PM they will have to face the CBI, I-T or ED raids,” he said

People across the state are regretting voting for the BJP and now want to see the Congress back in power in the state.

Former Ministers Vinay Kumar Sorake, Pramod Madhwaraj, former MLAs Gopal Poojary, U R Sabhapathi, State Women Congress president Pushpa Amarnath, AICC secretary Vishnunathan P C, state Congress leaders Sandeep B M, AICC secretary, Rangaswamy, Ashok Kumar Kodavoor, M A Gaphoor and others were present
