Young voters will teach PM Modi a lesson this time: M B Patil

HASSAN

: Home minister M B Patil on Wednesday said that the

young

voters in the country are disappointed with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and they will teach him a lesson in this election.

Speaking to reporters, he stated that in 2014, when Modi criss-crossed the country by spending crores of rupees, he made the people to dream. “He assured changes. Naturally, the young voted for him. But after five years, Modi didn't keep any of his promises. There are no jobs, no growth,” he said.

“It was former Prime Minister P V Narasimha Rao and his finance minister Manmohan Singh who really brought economic reforms. But under the Modi rule, everything is reversed. Demonetisation is a big blunder. The PMO is treating the RBI like a private limited company,” he alleged.

“The Congress has promised to introduce the Nyuntam Aay Yojana (NYAY) under which Rs 72,000 per year will be transferred to the poor. It is the game changer,” he said.

“PM Modi is misusing the Balakot incident to cover up all his failures. We feel proud of the Indian Army. But a few BJP leaders are defaming it by calling it as the Modi Army,” he said.

PWD minister HD Revanna brings funds to Hassan which reflects his concern for the district, he said. “Through I-T raids, BJP is trying to defame him. Election Commission also seems to be working under the influence of the BJP,” he alleged.
