“The BJP made 600 promises to the people of Karnataka and they haven’t started work on 91 per cent of them. This is a campaign we have initiated to put the truth before the people, summarising the betrayal by the saffron party,” Surjewala said.

ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿ ಹೆಸರಲ್ಲಿ ಸುಳ್ಳಿನ ಕಹಳೆ ಊದುತ್ತಿರುವ ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ನಾಯಕರೇ ನಮ್ಮ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಗೆ ಉತ್ತರ ನೀಡುತ್ತೀರಾ?

ರೈತರ ಆದಾಯ ದುಪ್ಪಟ್ಟು ಮಾಡುತ್ತೇವೆ ಎಂದ ಮಾತು ಏನಾಯಿತು?

ಉದ್ಯೋಗ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನೀವು ನೀಡಿದ್ದ ಭರವಸೆ ಏನಾಯಿತು?

ಪರಿಶಿಷ್ಟ ಜಾತಿ-ಪಂಗಡದ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳಿಗೆ ನೀಡುತ್ತೇವೆ ಎಂದಿದ್ದ 4,500 ಕೋಟಿ ಹಣ ಎಲ್ಲಿದೆ?

2018ರಲ್ಲಿ ನೀಡಿದ ಪ್ರಣಾಳಿಕೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದಾದರೂ ನಿಜವಾಗಿಸಿದ್ದೀರಾ. ನಾಡು- ನುಡಿಗಾಗಿ ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಕೊಡುಗೆ ಶೂನ್ಯ. ಭ್ರಷ್ಟಾಚಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಇಂದು ದೇಶಕ್ಕೇ ರಾಜಧಾನಿಯಾಗಿದೆ . ಇದರ ಕೀರ್ತಿ ಬಿಜೆಪಿಗೆ ಸಲ್ಲುತ್ತದೆ. ಇನ್ಮುಂದೆ ನಾವು ನಿರಂತರವಾಗಿ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ ಕೇಳುತ್ತೇವೆ. ನೈತಿಕತೆ ಇದ್ದರೆ ಉತ್ತರಿಸಿ.

Speaking to reporters here, he accused the BJP of being power-hungry and alleged that its administration was corrupt.

”This is a government of four Cs – crumbling infrastructure, complete policy paralysis, corruption and communal tension,” he said as he called Bommai as “perhaps the most incompetent CM in the history of Karnataka heading the most-corrupt government in the country.” Congress Legislature Party leader Siddaramaiah accused the BJP of bringing down the State’s image by indulging in corruption, referring to scams like the one related to recruitment of sub- inspectors of the police.

“To hide their failures, they are raising religious issues,” he said.

The BJP’s 2018 manifesto was titled ‘Namma Karnatakakakke Namma Vachana’ (Our promise to our Karnataka), Shivakumar said and added, ”Instead they have done vanchane (betrayed) the people of the State.” PTI
