Hubballi: Former Chief Minister and Coalition Government Co-ordination Committee chairman Siddaramaiah on Monday, February 11 challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to contest from Karnataka in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Addressing presspersons at the airport here, Siddaramaiah said that Modi does not do anything else except telling lies, he is an expert in telling lies.

Reacting to the BJP’s rally, held on Sunday, February 10 Siddaramaiah questioned why the chowkidar (Narendra Modi) did not speak about Rafale deal which involved Rs 40,000 crore corruption? He criticises the State Government’s loan waiver scheme, but why he did not waive off farmers’ loans, though we took a delegation to him twice? Are the drought situation and farmers’ woes restricted only to Karnataka?. 

Further speaking about BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa’s resignation statement he said that B S Yeddyurappa himself has admitted that the audio clip has his voice, and therefore, he should resign to politics now.

Yeddyurappa has offered Rs 10 crore, ministership, and BJP ticket to poach a JD(S) MLA. It shows that he is engaged in horse trading with agreed to become the chief minister again, he informed.

BJP leader R Ashoka is not a legal expert to comment on the Congress Party’s notice issued to four MLAs, he added.
