Not Siddaramaiah, it's 'seeda rupaiya' govt: Modi in Karnataka

TIL Desk/National/Karnataka/ Tearing into the Siddaramaiah government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has dubbed it a ‘seeda Rupaiya sarkar’ (money first government), a reference to corruption, and said it should not be allowed to continue ‘even for a minute’.

Modi, who has been accusing the state government of corruption, intensified his attack on his third visit in less than a month to the poll-bound Karnataka, saying there was public anger against the regime.

“It is now certain that this Karnataka government will go,” he told a Bharatiya Janata Party farmers’ rally in Davangere.

“You have such a chief Minister here. Some people feel that in Karnataka there is Siddaramaiah government. But the fact is here there is seeda rupaiya sarkar. In every thing there is seeda rupaiya, only then work happens,” he said.

The rally in the Lingayat belt here was organised to coincide with the 75th birthday of state BJP chief B S Yeddyurappa, who is being projected as the party’s chief ministerial candidate for the upcoming assembly polls.
