Raichur: Is Modi alone fit to become India's PM? questions Siddaramaiah


Daijiworld Media Network - Raichur (SP)

Raichur, Feb 18: "We have hundreds of people in our country who are capable enough to discharge duties and responsibilities as the Prime Minister of India. Why is a notion being spread that Narendra Modi alone has the capacity to fit the bill?" wondered former chief minister and leader of Congress legislature party, Siddaramaiah.

He was speaking to media persons at Veeraghota in Devadurga taluk in the district on Sunday February 17. He said that hundreds of leaders from opposition parties too are fit to become Prime Minister. Several leaders including Rahul Gandhi, Deve Gowda and Mayawati have the capability to become the Prime Minister of India, he sought to explain.

Siddaramaiah pointed out that Narendra Modi had become Prime Minister directly after being the chief minister of a state, adding that working as minister before ascending the top political post in the country is not a prerequisite as exhibited by Modi. "This is a time of coalition governments. Not a single party is able to muster majority. Therefore, like-minded parties come together and form alliances. The government at the centre is NDA government, not BJP. Although other parties have entered into national alliance for the Lok Sabha poll, we will not announce our Prime Ministerial candidate at this point," he
stated.

On the issue of dissidence in the party, he said that notices had been served to legislators who failed to attend legislature party meeting. "All of them have clarified that they continue to be in Congress. We have discussed with Ramesh Jarkiholi, who has certain problems on hand. "We will address these issues soon. As of now, there is no dissident in Congress," he claimed.

    Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has clearly pointed "One who can't take care of home, can't manage the country".
    Nitin Gadkari said politicians who sold dreams to people but failed to make them a reality got "beaten up" by the public.
    India can't afford a Prime Minister who can't prove his own degree and qualification. The nation needs a man who can read looking at teleprompter Mrs instead of M-R-S.
    We can't choose a man who has pending cases of the pogrom of Godhra carnage.

    Only congress and BJP have the national presence.

    Whoever becomes the PM, he or she must have the welfare and the interest of the people at heart. Here we have Modi who won the elections in 2014 on basis of making false promises to the people of India. Not only has he failed to keep the promises, he has burdened the people with untold misery and suffering. While I agree that taxation is required to keep the country running, the fact remains that India is a country of poor people and the 18% GST that this government has levied is totally unjustified and atrocious. Go ahead and levy heavy taxes on luxuries like dining or staying in 5 star hotels, on international travel and so on but how fair is to to levy 18% GST on insurance premium and other basic necessities? The common man is heavily burdened due to this GST and my vote will for the person who keeps the interest of people like me in mind. My vote will be for the person who keeps the fuel costs down and my vote will not be for the person who increases the petrol and diesel prices to help Reliance.

    Coming to the educated people leading the country what makes you think that Gandhi family which ruled for the longest period & none of them with the exception of Nehru, didn't have a basic degree are more qualified than our present PM???
