Haveri: “Karnataka had become economically strong during the BJP’s rule, but ever since the Congress government came to power the state’s economic condition has deteriorated. The treasury is also empty, the current government is not in a position to release money even during drought in the state,” alleged Former Karnataka Chief Minister and Senior BJP Leader Basavaraj Bommai on Thursday. He was speaking at an election campaign meeting near Makanur in Ranebennur taluk.
Retorting back at Minister HK Patil’s, ‘BJP means emotion and Congress means life,’ remark, Bommai said, “ There is no need to reply to what he said, people are aware about what is life and what is feeling.”
Bommai further asserted that Development of the irrigation system in Karnataka was done on a large scale during the BJP rule, a special program was held for the downtrodden during Yediyurappa’s term.
Meanwhile, responding to Former Karnataka Chief Minister Sadananda Gowda’s, “I will purify the Karnataka BJP,’ statement, Bommai said that “Gowda is a senior leader and he has taken his own stance. His commitment and love for the party will never decline.”
