Bengaluru, Feb 05 (ANI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday came down heavily upon Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying that he should carry ‘high credibility’ while levelling any allegation against the state government.Addressing media, the Chief Minister said, “Dear Narendra Modi, being the Prime Minister of the country your words should carry high credibility. I would, therefore, request you to substantiate your allegation that “corruption and mis-governance are rampant in Karnataka” with facts”. Referring to PM Modi’s recent statement where he stated that “countdown has begun for Karnataka government”, Siddaramaiah hits back and said, “countdown for the Prime Minister has begun and not for his government”. Stating that the Prime Minister was facilitating corruption, Siddaramaih said that the former was not morally fit to be the Prime Minister. He further asked the Prime Minister to fight the upcoming Karnataka Assembly Elections with dignity. Siddaramaiah also took a jibe at the Prime Minister for holding Parivartan Rally in the state and said that the rally is being funded by “Adani -Ambani.” The Chief Minister also attacked BJP chief Amit Shah and state BJP chief BS Yedduyurappa and said, “BJP president was involved in a murder case… Here (in Karnataka) also they are projecting a Chief Minister candidate (BS Yedduyurappa) who has been to jail.” Earlier on Sunday, while addressing a rally in Bengaluru, the Prime Minister launched a veiled attack at the Siddaramaih-led Karnataka government while saying that people of the state have not received the benefits of Centre’s funds.
