Karnataka government most corrupt, end Congress rule, exhorts Amit Shah

BENGALURU: BJP national president Amit Shah alleged on Sunday that the Siddaramaiah government in Karnataka was the “most corrupt“ in the country.
Addressing a rally of other backward classes (OBC) in Bengaluru, Shah urged the people to vote the BJP led by BS Yeddyurappa in the 2018 assembly polls, to ensure Karnataka becomes one among the top five states in the country .
“Every time when there is talk of corruption, we get to hear the name of Karnataka,“ said Shah, to rousing cheers and applause.
He said the state had, under Congress rule, lagged behind other states in terms of development, and people want to bring down the regime in the next election.
“Once you bring Yeddyurappa back to power, Karnataka will see the transformation and it will become one of the fastest growing states in the country,“ Shah said.
Taking an ambitious pledge, BJP state president Yeddyurappa earlier said he would resolve the Cauvery and Mahadayi river water disputes within 24 hours of returning to power in the state.
“The Congress government has never been serious about resolving the Cauvery and Mahadayi river water disputes. Given a chance to become chief minister for another term, I will ensure it is resolved within a day ,'' said Yeddyurappa. He said he would waive crop loans of farmers and provide 24-hour free electricity, all within 24 hours of assuming office.
Eshwarappa, who purportedly launched a Sangolli Rayanna brigade to lure the Kuruba vote bank from Siddaramaiah -regarded as the champion of the community -and counter the rising dominance of Yeddyurappa in the party, said: “In the name of the Kuruba community , he assumed power. But what has he done in the past three years for the community?“
