Bengaluru, Sep 3: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to coastal Mangaluru is ‘just a trailer’ and next one will be in Doddaballapur on September 8, said Health and Family Welfare Minister Dr K Sudhakar on Saturday.
Speaking to media persons in Chikkaballapur, Dr Sudhakar, who has been entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing the arrangements for the Doddaballapur bash of Modi, claimed that lakhs of people participated in Prime Minister’s public meeting held in Mangaluru on Friday and said the participants were from just one district and not the entire State.
In a sharp attack against Congress leaders, the minister said the Congressmen who ask where BJP is, should have seen the size of the crowd at Mangaluru if they have eyes.
The minister said the ruling BJP is committed to the all-round development of the State and urged people to come in large numbers for the Doddaballapur rally. He said more than 20,000 people must attend the September 8 bash as all festivals are now over to show their appreciation of the double engine rule in the State and Centre.
He said all the post-independence Government’s which ruled the State have neglected Bagepalli while BJP alone has taken up HN Valley, Etthinahole and other development projects. The Congress-JD(S) coalition government announced the HN Valley project at its last meeting but has done precious little for implementation. But the BJP government has released Rs 60 crore and is developing the region.
Dr Sudhakar said the double engine governments in Bengaluru and Delhi are working for the betterment of all sections of the people from students to women and farmers. The Modi rule is taking the country on the path of development, he said claimed that ‘Modi is the most popular leader in the world and BJP is proud to have such a tall leader’.
The minister urged all people to participate in the Doddaballapur rally in large numbers to send out a strong message to the entire State that BJP is returning to power in Karnataka in the 2023 assembly polls.
