“He [Prime Minister Narendra Modi] talks very well about sabka saath, sabka vikas (everyone’s support, everyone’s progress), but does nothing for the poor. Meanwhile, the people of the country are suffering from unemployment, inflation and economic crisis,” she said.
Accusing the PM of crony capitalism, she said he spoke of welfare but was never seen with the poor in villages. “All his rallies are with his rich businessmen friends. No wonder our country’s railways, aviation, ports and shipping are now in the hands of one man,” she added.
She hit out at the NDA government for the GST regime, saying it had made farmers’ lives much more difficult. “We see how prices are rising everywhere. It wasn’t so in the decades of Congress rule. Farmers had enough to sustain themselves with the food they grew and enough surplus to sell at a fair price,” she said.

Praising the Congress guarantees in Karnataka, she said they were a major reason why life was improving for people in the state. “They [the Central government] did not increase job opportunities, inflation is at an all-time high, getting a sick family member treated is a problem. Had Congress guarantees not been implemented in the state, your life would have been as difficult as the rest of the country. To deeply understand the Central Government, you must understand where their focus lies,” she said. Davangere, along with 13 other constituencies in Karnataka will go to the polls on Tuesday.
