Attack on Congress
Taking a scathing attack on Congress, Hon’ble National President said, Siddaramaiah's government was absolutely a Reverse Gear government; it looted the natural resources, was letting the criminal and antisocial elements to run amok, and appeasing a certain section of the society only to consolidate its vote-bank! During the year 2014 to 2019, when whatever good schemes and programs were started by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, those schemes and programs were not implemented in Karnataka and even if implemented, the pace of its progress was kept very slow. This time would be seen as the "dark period" for Karnataka. This is not just an election speech but its facts are known to all. Describing crime and Congress as synonyms, Shri Nadda said that there was a huge decline in law and order in Karnataka under the Congress regime.

When the BJP government came to power, PFI was banned and NIA was given a free hand to investigate. Nearly 41,000 cameras were installed in the cities of Karnataka to ensure the safety of women. Shri Nadda praised that we are a government of Double-Engine, theirs is a Trouble-Engine; we are here to give Pace to the development, they only give Breaks to the development. The double engine government of BJP believes in “Delivery Best without Waste” and also implements it. The BJP government moves towards economic justice and social justice.
