Bengaluru, Apr 13: The war of words between chief minister Siddaramaiah and BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa is getting intense on the social media day by day in poll-bound Karnataka.
On Thursday April 12, B S Yeddyurappa criticized Congress government led by the BJP and tweeted, "The Congress govt in Karnataka has failed miserably on all fronts. 10 Percent CM Siddaramaiah has nothing to go to the voters except his misrule and misgovernance. The state is in dire need of a govt which can fulfill the aspirations of 6.5 Cr Kannadigas."
Siddaramaiah was quick to reply to the BJP chief reminding him of corruption charges against him when he was the chief minister. He tweeted, "Big words from the man who turned Karnataka into the most corrupt state, Bengaluru into garbage city & ordered goli bar on farmers. Other than baseless allegations what do you have to offer the 6.5Cr Kannadigas?
"BSY of BJP tweets that that I have nothing to show to the voters. What my Govt has done in 5 years is well known to the voter & the account is too large to fit into a tweet. Talk to the voter about vision & stop baseless allegations," he tweeted.
He then went on to pose ten questions to Yeddyurappa:
1. "Do you support the aspiration of Kannadigas to a strong Kannada identity with a Nada-Dhwaja?"
2. "Do you support the aspirations of the followers of Basaveshwara for an independent religion?"
3. "Do you support medition by the Prime Minister for an immeidate resolution to Mahadayi?"
4. "Do you support waiver by central govt of agri. loans lent by commercial banks?"
5. "A farmer committed suicide in Yavatmal, Maharashtra & blamed PM for it. What is the BJP Govt doing about it? When you blame us for farmers’ suicides, you must also tell what you are going to do?"
6. "You denotified 100s of acres of BDA lands thus killing several layouts and depriving Bengalureans of homes. Why did you do it? How can Bengalureans trust you again?"
7. "You let the Reddy brothers’ loot more than 25,000 crores of mineral wealth. Why were you so helpless?"
8. "Anna Bhagya gives 7 kg free rice/ month/ person to about 4 cr people. We give milk to 1 cr children. What will you do differently?"
9. "The three CMs of BJP built 6 KM of metro in 5 years. We have built 36 KM of Metro in 5 years. We are building phase II & preparing for phase III."
10. "We have got GoI to sanction Sub-Urban Rail. We are bringing in Electric Buses. We will increase BMTC fleet. What is your solution to traffic congestion?"
Yeddyurappa responded that he would answer the questions soon, while adding that a previous set of questioned posed to him to the CM have still gone unaswered. "Dear CM @siddaramaiah, my earlier set of questions posed to you which were in the best interest of the people are still unanswered. Lest you forget, you are answerable to the people. By the way, you shall soon see a response to all your questions," he tweeted.
