PM Modi takes 'PPP' jibe at Congress, Siddaramaiah hits back

Bengaluru, May 5 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing a rally in poll-bound Karnataka on Saturday, took a jibe at Congress stating the party will get reduced to only two states after the conclusion of election process in the southern state.

Inventing a theory of PPP, Modi said the Congress will be left with only Punjab and Puducherry to rule.

Modi reportedly said after May 15 (when poll results will be out), Congress will be reduced to PPP Congress- Punjab, Puducherry and Parivar (family) Congress.

Hitting back at Modi, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah tweeted, "Dear Modi ಅವರೇ, Heard you spun a new abbreviation ‘PPP’ today. Sir, we have always championed the 3 Ps of democracy - ‘Of the People, By the People, For the People’. While your party is a ‘Prison’, ‘Price Rise’ & ‘Pakoda’ party. Am I right, Sir?"

Congress is presently ruling in Karnataka, Punjab and Puducherry.

The Karantaka ruling party, Congress, is trying to retain its dominance in Karnataka.

The poll will be conducted in a single phase on May 12.

BJP, under the leadership of former Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa, is eyeing on to wrest its power in the state.

The campaign for the poll is in top gear presently as both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress President Rahul Gandhi are travelling across the state to address several rallies.
