Karnataka: PM Modi questions Congress’ misrule for 48 years and urged people to compare it to the 48 months of the NDA Government
More than Mr. Siddaramaiah, it is 'Seedha Rupaiyya' that drives the working of the Government in Karnataka, says PM Modi
Congress' is a 10 per cent government in Karnataka. No work is done here without any commission: PM Narendra Modi

While addressing a huge public meeting at Davanagere in Karnataka, PM Narendra Modi hit out at the Congress government in the state for its mis-governance and said that they would be defeated in the upcoming state elections. “Every section of society is unhappy with the Congress government in Karnataka”, he said.

“Election after election what are the people doing? They are removing Congress. When Congress goes, the harmful Congress culture also goes”, he remarked.

The public meeting witnessed a large number of farmers as attendees. The Prime Minister said that by focussing on farmers and rural India, the NDA government was taking several steps for the transformation of the agriculture sector. Pointing at various farm and agriculture initiatives, PM Narendra Modi said that it was the NDA government’s dream to double farmers’ income by 2022.

Shri Modi stated, “By focussing on farmers and rural India, the NDA government is taking several steps for the transformation of the agriculture sector. The crop insurance scheme brought by the NDA government is a comprehensive one.” He highlighted how ‘Operation Greens’ announced in this year’s budget would have a positive impact on agriculture sector and how value addition to crops would bring more prosperity to farmers.

Lashing out at the Congress he PM questioned their misrule for 48 years and urged people to compare it to the 48 months of the NDA. “One family ruled India for 48 years. One tea seller has served for almost 48 months. They grew up in riches so they never cared for the poor. I have seen poverty, which is why I am devoting all my time for the welfare of the poor and the farmers”, he said.

PM Modi took a jibe at Chief Minister Mr. Siddaramaiah and remarked that more than Siddaramaiah, it was ‘Seedha Rupaiya’ that drove the functioning of current Karnataka government. “More than Mr. Siddaramaiah, it is 'Seedha Rupaiyya' that drives the working of the Government in Karnataka. Everything seems to be happening at a price here in Karnataka. The state needs freedom from such corruption”, said Shri Modi.

Shri Modi alleged that Congress’ was a 10 per cent government in Karnataka and no work could be done without commission and bribery. Moreover, he questioned the state government for not being able to utilise the funds which the Centre had allocated for welfare of people. He said, “Congress government in Karnataka is insensitive towards healthcare facilities for people in the state. Centre sends funds, but why does it not spend on improving health infrastructure of the state.”

At the event, he also extended birthday greetings to Shri B S Yeddurappa and urged people to form a BJP Government under his leadership in the upcoming elections.

Strengthening the Make in India Vision With Tech Startups

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has regularly stressed that to enable India to earn the tag of a developed nation; the key is to develop a robust support mechanism aided by technological innovation, which will facilitate the growth of startups and boost the innovation ecosystem in the nation. In 2022 while addressing the entrepreneurs, PM Modi described the present decade as ‘techade’.

Multiple programmes have been implemented since 2014 to recognise, develop and promote technological innovations through startups, making them capable of raising private investments and encouraging entrepreneurship and job creation in India.

There has been a conscious effort at the level of the central government to liberate entrepreneurship and innovation from the web of government processes and bureaucratic silos; second, to create an institutional mechanism to promote innovation; and third, to handhold young innovators and youth enterprises! Programs like Start-up India, Stand-Up India are testimony of such efforts.

Startup India initiative was launched in 2016 to build a robust startup ecosystem in the nation by supporting entrepreneurs through tax benefits, easier compliance, IPR fast-tracking and various other benefits. Eligible companies recognised as startups by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) get the scheme's benefits.

Since the inception of the scheme in 2016 till April 2023, India has over 99,000 DPIIT-recognised startups, which are spread across 56 diversified sectors. Out of these startups, more than 15% are in the sectors like agriculture, healthcare and life sciences, automotive, telecommunication and networking, computer vision, etc. Over 7,000 recognised startups are in sectors like construction, household services, logistics, real estate and transportation and storage, contributing towards urban concerns.

In 2017, the ‘Startup India Online Hub’ hosted startups, investors, funds, mentors, academic institutions, incubators, accelerators, corporates, government bodies, and other startup ecosystem players to discover, connect and engage with each other. Further, in 2017, the ‘Government e-Marketplace (GeM)’ was launched to enhance transparency, efficiency and speed in public procurement. This medium has now proved to be an enabler for increased market access to seller groups such as startups and MSMEs under the Make in India initiative. As of now, the GeM portal has more than 30 lakh products and 60 lakh sellers and service providers with an order value of over Rs. 4 lakh crore.

To assist young entrepreneurs and encourage technology startups, ‘Technology Incubation and Development of Entrepreneurs (TIDE)’ was launched to promote tech entrepreneurship through financial and technical support. TIDE 2.0, which has been implemented since 2019, is expected
