What Congress has done in the name of loan waivers will go down in history as one of the cruel jokes on farmers: PM Modi
The small and medium businesses are growth engines that fuel the economy: PM Modi
Tourism opens the gates for prosperity for all. Tourism includes 3 Ts: Tradition, Talent and Trade: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with BJP booth workers from Belagavi, Bidar, Davangere, Dharwad and Haveri in Karnataka through video conference. The interaction saw PM Modi touch upon several key issues concerning the people of Karnataka and the country at large.

The interaction began at Belagavi where a party worker asked PM Modi his views on the plight of farmers and other communities under the Congress-led government in Karnataka, to which he replied, “What they have done in the name of loan waivers will go down in history as one of the most cruel jokes on farmers. After 6 months in power, news reports say that the Government could only benefit a handful of farmers with their loan waiver scheme. These people go around the country claiming credit for what they have done for farmers. Will they also take credit for the farmers committing suicide in Karnataka? Those in power think that just because they have formed a government by hook or crook, they can get away with anything. But the people of Karnataka and people of India are watching them and their actions. The people will soon teach them a lesson for their ill governance of the state.”

Comparing the state of affairs in Karnataka with that of rest of the country under BJP-led governments, PM Modi described numerous measures and initiatives taken by his government in sectors like MSMEs, tourism and education that have transformed these sectors.

Concluding his wide-ranging interaction at Haveri, Prime Minister Modi talked about the approach of his youth-led governance policies having four core elements, a 4E approach of Education, Employment, Entrepreneurship and Excellence. He said such a multi-level approach addresses the main issues that the youth of our country are faced with and empowers them to succeed in life.
