Karnataka is governed by 2.5 CMs: Amit Shah

Devanahalli: BJP President Amit Shah on Thursday hit out at the Karnataka government alleging that the state is being governed by two and a half Chief ministers.
Addressing a gathering here, he said: “It’s a weird situation in Karnataka. Kumaraswamy calls himself a clerk, Siddaramaiah is the super CM and G Parameshwara is half CM. This ‘dhai’ CM sarkar cannot develop the state. This alliance is an example of what mahagathbandhan has in store at the national level.” Calling the coalition government of Karnataka an alliance driven by the sole motive of attaining power, Shah said: “This coalition government cannot help in developing our economy, they can neither work for the welfare of the poor. If we intend to make India a ‘Vishwa Guru’, we need to form BJP government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.” Sharpening his attack at the Congress party, Shah added: “Congress government waived off Rs 53,000 crore loans of farmers in 10 years. On the other hand, Modi govt will provide Rs 75,000 crore to the farmers every year. Moreover, Congress declared to waive off farm loans amounting to around Rs 48,000 crore. However, they only waived off Rs 1,600 crore.” He alleged that the opposition including Mamata Banerjee, JD(S), Congress and others do not want intruders to leave the country as they see a vote bank in them.
“Congress, JD(S), Mamata Banerjee, Rahul Gandhi and others do not want intruders to leave the country because they see a vote bank in them,” the BJP president said.
