Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Shivamogga on Sunday to address a rally after a massive roadshow in Karnataka's Bengaluru for the second time this election season. PM Modi stated at the public rally that due to the NEET exam, we held our roadshow early in the morning. Modi stated that despite the fact that the roadshow was held early, people came out in large numbers to show their support for the party. The Prime Minister expressed his gratitude to those to whom he will be eternally grateful.
"I want to give you the original guarantee for your love and blessings; I will develop Karnataka and refund it with interest," he added.
PM Modi launched an attack on the Congress party in Shivamogga, saying that the party has only been peddling lies. State women have already abandoned the grand old party. "They have done no development work for the farmers. BJP has worked for the farmers of the state. Now all the lies of Congress are fully exposed and BJP will form govt with the full majority" he said.
"Girls' education and women's empowerment were pushed back during the Congress rule. Congress did not make separate toilets for girls in schools, and girls used to drop out because of this, but BJP campaigned to remove the injustice done to girls and today more and more girls are going to school,": the PM added further.
In response to the fertiliser shortage caused by the Russia-Ukraine war, Prime Minister Modi stated, "In 9 years, we have provided 2,000 new types of seeds to farmers." Despite crises, we have never allowed a fertiliser shortage in the country. The Russia-Ukraine crisis caused fertiliser prices to skyrocket, but we did not let it burden the country's farmers."
