Congress busy hurling abuses at me, says PM Modi ahead of K'taka polls

New Delhi, May 6 (IBNS): Ahead of the state polls in Karnataka, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a swipe at the Congress party, accusing it of doing little for the state all the while abusing the former.

The Prime Minister took to social media on Sunday to post, "Instead of giving a proper account of the work done by the Karnataka government in the last five years, Congress is busy hurling abuses at me. Congress must also explain to the nation why they did not let Parliament function and why they prevented the formation of OBC commission."

He added that the opposition has not done enough for weavers in Karnataka, while he praised his own government for working towards the betterment of the community in India.

"The Central Government has taken unprecedented steps for the Textiles and handloom sectors. The Mudra Yojana is doing wonders for our hardworking weavers," the Prime Minister's tweet read.

He added, "In contrast, the Congress Government in Karnataka has not shown any effort to change the lives of our weavers."

The Prime Minister was addressing a rally in Hubbali in Karnataka, where he made the aforementioned comments.

Sharing his future dream for India, he said, "Our aim is to build a 'New India' where the aspirations of our youth get wings."

Karnataka will go into polls on May 12.

The results will be announced on May 15.

The polls will see bigwigs BS Yeddyurappa of the Bharatiya Janata Party and Congress' Siddaramaiah take on one another.

Karnataka is one of the few bastions left ruled by the Congress party.
