BJP President Shri Amit Shah on Saturday addressed a press conference at Mysuru, appealing to the people of Karnataka to bring the BJP into power to ensure development like in the remaining BJP governed states in the Country.
Shri Shah, who is in Mysuru for party's campaign ahead of the Karnataka Assembly polls, said that the people of Karnataka are angry at the Siddaramaiah government's rampant and brazen corruption. The Party President compared relation between Congress and Corruption to that of Fish and Water and said that Siddaramaiah is doing nothing but carrying forward the relation in great speed.
Shri Shah said that Siddaramaiah government was becoming a hurdle for development in Karnataka.
"Siddaramaiah government is a hurdle for all the developmental work Prime Minister Narendra Modi has done for Karnataka. "Karnataka government has become ATM of corruption for the Congress party and holds no other importance," said Shri Shah during the press conference.
Shri Shah also said that JDS is also not capable of forming a government in Karnataka as it is confined to only a few pockets. The public has well understood that the only alternative that exists is of the BJP under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji and Yeddyurappa ji in Karnataka.
Shri Shah said he was confident that the BJP will do extremely well in Mysuru as there was a huge support for the BJP among the people.
Stating that currently in the entire Karnataka there are strong tailwinds of corruption, Shri Shah cautioned that this wind of corruption will get converted into a Tsunami if the Congress wrests power in the state. He exuded confidence that the people of Karnataka will deliver a resounding defeat to the Congress to avert such a calamity.
"In terms of development, all the parameters have come down and showing a declining trend. There are many states, especially the BJP governed states where villages and houses have 24 hours electricity. Bengaluru being the IT hub earns so much of revenue but the Siddaramaiah government has failed to devolve funds to the villages and at lower levels," said Shri Shah.
Shri shah said that under the Siddaramaiah government none of the poll promises have been fulfilled regarding development.
"Apart from poor health facilities, Karnataka has also seen the weakest implementation of central schemes. All parameters of development have come to a standstill. There is no limitation to the misery of the farmers. While some 3,500 farmers have committed suicide in Karnataka, Siddaramaiah calls it a conspiracy. I want to ask why will someone commit suicide as part of a conspiracy? I have never heard such an insensitive statement ever," asked Shri Shah.
Shri Amit Shah also informed that it was the Congress which deliberately stalled the OBC Commission bill in the Rajya Sabha.
He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi brought a bill in the parliament under which there was a provision for OBC Commission. While the bill was cleared in the Lok Sabha where BJP has a clear majority the bill got stuck in the Rajya Sabha, where BJP does not have a majority, due to Congress leader Digvijay Singh who stated that there should be a member from minority community.
"Since Kaka Saheb Kalelkar Commission in 1955, the OBC community has been struggling for constitutional honour. The Congress has done nothing when in power but when Prime Minister Narendra Modi was moving ahead with the Bill the Congress has become the hurdle and deliberately stopped it, " said Shri Shah.
Shri Shah questioned Siddaramaiah that if he constantly calls himself a leader of OBC why did he fail in making his own party understand.
"The bill got stuck in the parliament only because of the Congress. This answer is to be given by Siddaramaiah to the OBC community," said Shri Shah.
Stating that BJP has always wanted welfare of Tribals, Shri Shah said that recently it was Prime Minister Narendra Modi's effort that cabinet decided to include Talvara and Pariwara communities from Karnataka in the list of Schedule Tribes.
"While this move was pending since Independence due to the ignorance of Congress, it will now pave way for the bright future of the children of the two communities," said Shri Shah.
Shri Shah said that two more major announcements have been made for the welfare of farmers and poor people.
The first was that the government has decided to give 1.5 times Minimum Support Price for the crops grown by the farmers for all the crops and second one was of giving health Protection Scheme which will give health protection insurance worth Rs 5 lakh to 10 crore families in the country.
"This will include Medical diagnostic tests, hospitalisation, and many other medical expenditures. The initiative started by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a blessing for the poor people who till now used to suffer due to the huge medical bills and could not overcome from the burden incurred due to the huge medical costs," said Shri Shah.
"Through this programme, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has ensured Right to health for the poor people and there has been a very positive effect of it among the poor people which I got to know after visiting and speaking to people from the backward areas," added Shri Shah.
She Shah said that during the 13th Finance Commission, under the Sonia – Dr Manmohan Singh's UPA government, Karnataka received only Rs 88,583 crore in five years, while under the Modi government Karnataka is receiving Rs 2,19,506 crore in five years due to the implementation of the 14th Finance Commission recommendations.
"Friends I was looking at Siddaramaiah who says that the money given under 14th Finance Commission was the right of Karnataka and it can't be termed as any favour. I also want to say the same thing that it is the right of the people of Karnataka. But what I want to know is that why was it not given to the people during the UPA. We have given the people of Karnataka their right," said Shri Shah.
Shri Shah asked Siddaramaiah that Is there any answer why were they (UPA& 13th Finance Commission) giving Rs 88, 583 crore to Karnataka? If Rs 2, 19,506 crore was the right of people from Karnataka then why was the UPA government not giving Karnataka their right, Is there a answer to it?
BJP admits that it is the right of people of Karnataka and the BJP government has started giving them their right. Therefore the contribution of Rs 2,19,506 crore has reached to Karnataka.
Shri Shah also apprised the public that BJP government at the Centre gave Karnataka 39,000 crore for the Mudra Yojna, 960 crore for the Smart City project, 4,935 crore for the Amrut Mission, 204 crore for the Swachh Bharat Mission, Rs 239 crore for Urban Transportation, Rs 2,617 crore for Bengaluru Metro, Rs 209 for Pradhan Mantri Khanij Kshetra Kalyan Yojana, Rs 405 crore for Pradhan Mantri Sinchai (Irrigation)Yojana, Rs 209 crore for Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, Rs 27, 482 crore and Rs 2,197 crore for Railways.
In total 79,000 crore for various projects have been given by the BJP government," said Shri Shah.
Emphasising that Siddaramaiah government is acting as the speed breaker in the way of development, Shri Shah said that till the moment the speed breaker (Congress) is removed from the way, development cannot happen.
Shri Shah pointed that for poor women and mothers BJP government has given nearly 3.50 lakh LPG connections. He said that Siddaramaiah ji was misleading people by changing the names of schemes and calling his on that has been initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji.
"Siddaramaiah ji is under the impression that by changing names of the schemes he can mislead people. But people are very well aware that all the schemes and programmes that Siddaramaiah ji is terming to be of his government are in real the initiatives by Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji," said Shri Shah.
Shri Shah appealed to people of Karnataka to elect a strong government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji and Chief Ministership of Yeddyuruppa ji. Development in all the BJP governments has seen a massive fillip. BJP government is required in Karnataka to ensure development which had stopped in the last five years.
