'Congress Aayi, Tabaahi Laayi': PM Modi Says Karnataka Govt Will Soon Be 'Unable To Pay Employees'
Addressing a rally in Bagalkote, PM Modi also brought up the alleged recent incident where a shopkeeper was attacked for playing the Hanuman Chalisa during Azaan time.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday held a rally in Karnataka's Bagalkote, and told the audience that their votes would help strengthen the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government and help make the country one of "the top three economies in the world". It's the BJP's resolution to make India a manufacturing hub, and a skill centre, he added. Taking a dig at the Congress, he said “these resolutions can't be fulfilled by those who enjoy vacations."

Speaking about the current Karnataka government, led by the Congress, Modi alleged that it would lose the capacity to pay its employees in the near future. “To all the government employees of the state, I want to tell you something that will shock you, the days are not far away when the state government will be unable to pay you,” PM Modi said. “They will create a situation in which your children will die hungry...

“Karnataka and Bengaluru are known as tech hubs all over the world, and it has made a name for itself, but the Congress has turned this tech hub into a ‘tanker hub’,” he added, commenting on the recent water shortage, and reports of an alleged tanker mafia exploiting the crisis.
The Congress, he said, "has also managed to take a commission from this crisis". "But, the Congress is not happy with just this, they are dreaming of committing scams like the 2G scam, worth lakh crores,” he added.
