“Battle of Words: PM Modi Slams Congress Over Bengaluru Water Crisis, Siddaramaiah Hits Back”

In a heated exchange ahead of the Karnataka state elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the ruling Congress of transforming Bengaluru from a “tech city” into a “tanker city” due to the recent water crisis. He criticized the Congress for alleged negligence towards Bengaluru’s infrastructure and prioritizing corruption over the city’s issues. PM Modi emphasized his vision for India’s progress, citing plans for various hubs and technological advancements.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah swiftly responded to PM Modi’s remarks, questioning his absence during Karnataka’s times of distress, including floods and droughts. Siddaramaiah accused PM Modi of engaging in public relations stunts rather than addressing real issues. He also challenged the Prime Minister’s claims of being a farmer-friendly leader, highlighting discrepancies in the implementation of farmer schemes and criticizing the BJP’s stance on farmer welfare.

With Karnataka heading to the polls in two phases, the political rhetoric between the BJP and Congress has intensified. PM Modi’s critique of the Congress’s governance in Karnataka, particularly regarding Bengaluru’s water crisis, has ignited a war of words, with Siddaramaiah fiercely defending his party’s record and accusing the BJP of neglecting farmers’ interests. As election day approaches, the battle for Karnataka’s 28 Lok Sabha seats continues to escalate, highlighting the high stakes for both parties in this crucial southern state.
