In Congress, people perform, in Modi's BJP, people only speak: Mallikarjun Kharge
Addressing the Sadhana Samavesha programme in Mysuru on July 19, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said, 'In the Congress party, people perform, while in Modi's BJP, people only speak. Earlier on July 18, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that the 'Sadhana Samavesha', which was held at the Maharaja College ground in Mysuru on July 19, was aimed at countering BJP's misinformation campaign. Mr. Siddaramaiah sought to make it clear that the event was not a show of strength. 'The event is an attempt to inform the people of the State about the achievements of the State government in the backdrop of false propaganda spread by the BJP,' the Chief Minister said. Referring to the launch of schemes worth ₹2,658 crore at the 'Sadhana Samavesha', the Chief Minister asked whether they would hold such a function for nothing. Further, he asked the BJP to list out its contribution in the development of Mysuru. Accusing the BJP of spreading false information that the State Government did not have funds to implement the guarantee schemes, Mr. Siddaramaiah wondered whether the government will be able to spend ₹2,568 crore for just one city if it was bankrupt.

‘Sadhana Samavesha' aimed at countering BJP's misinformation, says Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said on Friday that the 'Sadhana Samavesha', which will be held at the Maharaja College ground here on Saturday, is aimed at countering BJP's misinformation campaign. Responding to questions from reporters at the Mysuru airport, Mr. Siddaramaiah sought to make it clear that the event was not a show of strength. The event is an attempt to inform the people of the State about the achievements of the State government in the backdrop of false propaganda spread by the BJP, the Chief Minister said. Referring to the launch of schemes worth ₹2,658 crore at the 'Sadhana Samavesha', the Chief Minister asked whether they would hold such a function for nothing. Further, he asked the BJP to list out its contribution in the development of Mysuru. Accusing the BJP of spreading false information that the State government did not have funds to implement the guarantee schemes, Mr. Siddaramaiah wondered whether the government will be able to spend ₹2,568 crore for just one city if it was bankrupt. The Chief Minister also dismissed speculations about the 'September revolution' amid reports about a change of Chief Minister in the State, and asked reporters to pose the question to the people who were speaking about the same. Even if the people who are talking about it were from the Congress party, they had not told him about it, Mr. Siddaramaiah said. In regard to BJP State president B.Y. Vijayendra's challenge to name All India Congress Committee president Mallikarjun Kharge as the party's Prime Ministerial candidate, Mr. Siddaramaiah said that the BJP leader should ask Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make way for a Dalit. When asked about the stance of the Congress, Mr. Siddaramaiah said that everybody in the party gets an opportunity. Only the Congress is committed to social justice, he added.
