PM Modi Slams Karnataka Govt Over Bengaluru Water Crisis, Says Transformed Tech City Into 'Tanker City'

Modi highlighted the NDA government's significant investments in social, physical, and digital infrastructure, contrasting it with the Karnataka Congress government's purported focus solely on corruption. He mentioned state of affairs in Bengaluru, attributing its decline to the Congress government's negligence, transforming it from a tech city to a "tanker city" ruled by the water mafia.

"Congress has changed tech city into tanker city, and has left it to the water mafia," he remarked.

PM Modi highlighted the BJP's electoral success in the 2014 and 2019 general elections, which has strengthened the country. He alluded to India's transformation from being considered among the "fragile five" to becoming one of the world's top five economies.

"India today is among the world's top five economies, he said. India today is not the one that follows, but has become the first mover. This has happened in just ten years", PM said. 

"In this election, I.N.D.I.A bloc leaders are going around with an old tape recorder, while Modi and his friends are seeking blessings once again with the track record", the prime minister said. He accused the Congress and the I.N.D.I.A Alliance of targeting him and his family with false allegations, while his focus remains steadfast on India's progress in the 21st century and its global stature.

PM Modi criticised the reduction of budgets in various sectors by the Karnataka government, saying that only Central government projects are progressing rapidly in the state.

Karnataka's upcoming polls, split into two phases, will witness voting in 14 Lok Sabha constituencies each on April 26 and May 7, respectively.
