Bengaluru, Aug 2: Asserting that Karnataka’s model of governance is what is needed for the entire country, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to state his and BJP’s stance clearly about the guarantee schemes before opposing them.
Drawing attention to certain “freebie schemes” announced by the BJP government at the Centre and in few states ruled by the party, he questioned the Prime Minister about the contradiction in standpoints.
In a series of tweets, the Chief Minister reacted to Modi’s statement in Pune on Tuesday in which he accused the ruling Congress in Karnataka of “emptying” state coffers for selfish interests.
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had said in Karnataka, where the Congress came to power nearly three months ago after ousting the BJP from office in the recent assembly polls, the Siddaramaiah government has admitted state coffers are empty and there are no funds for development.
The Prime Minister said the Congress managed to come to power in the southern state by making populist announcements, but in the process it has jeopardised the people’s future.
“Thanks to Prime Minister @narendramodi for his concern about Karnataka’s finances due to the implementation of the guarantee schemes in Karnataka. Mr. Narendra Modi, please make it clear whether this is your personal opinion, the opinion as the Prime Minister of India, or the opinion of your party?” Siddaramaiah said. (PTI)
