Bengaluru: Former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy on Tuesday, February 18 in two tweets slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for spending crores of Rs on US President Donald Trump India visit.

Taking a dig at the construction of a wall on a plot having several slum structures in Ahmedabad ahead of Trump’s visit there, Kumaraswamy in a tweet said, “Prime Minister Modi is building high walls to conceal the slums of Ahmedabad from view when US President Donald Trump visits India! But what wall will Modi build to conceal the country’s declining economy?”

ಅಮೆರಿಕ ಅಧ್ಯಕ್ಷ ಡೊನಾಲ್ಡ್‌ ಟ್ರಂಪ್ ಅವರ ಭಾರತದ ಭೇಟಿ ವೇಳೆ ಅಹ್ಮದಾಬಾದ್ ನ ಸ್ಲಂಗಳು ಕಾಣದಂತೆ ಪ್ರಧಾನಿ ಮೋದಿ ಅವರು ಎತ್ತರದ ಗೋಡೆಗಳನ್ನು ಕಟ್ಟಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರಂತೆ!
ಆದರೆ ಅಧಃಪತನಕ್ಕೆ ಕುಸಿದಿರುವ ದೇಶದ ಆರ್ಥಿಕತೆ ಕಾಣಿಸದಂತೆ ಮೋದಿ ಅವರು ಯಾವ ಗೋಡೆ ಕಟ್ಟುತ್ತಾರೆ?

In another tweet, he said, “What fortress will you build to conceal the anti-CAA protests that are spread across the country? What barrier will you build to hide the problems of poverty and unemployment in the country? Mr Modi, will you answer?”

ದೇಶವ್ಯಾಪಿ ಭುಗಿಲೆದ್ದಿರುವ ಸಿಎಎ ವಿರೋಧಿ ಹೋರಾಟ ಕಾಣಿಸದಂತೆ ಯಾವ ಭದ್ರಕೋಟೆ ನಿರ್ಮಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ? ದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿ ತಾಂಡವವಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವ ಬಡತನ, ನಿರುದ್ಯೋಗ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆ ಮರೆಮಾಚಲು ಯಾವ ತಡೆಗೋಡೆ ನಿರ್ಮಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ? ಮೋದಿ ಅವರೇ ಉತ್ತರಿಸುವಿರಾ?

Trump is scheduled to visit Modi’s home state Gujarat on February 24.

He will visit the famous Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad and take part in a roadshow with Modi. After that, the two leaders will inaugurate a new cricket stadium in Motera and address a gathering there, with an expected audience of over one lakh people.

While it was earlier speculated that the programme would be called ‘Kem Chho Trump’, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation on Sunday tweeted a series of posters confirming that the event is now christened ‘Namaste Trump’, apparently to give it a pan-India appeal.
