A reverse gear government by Congress will only turn Karnataka into their ATM state, said Amit Shah in Karnataka.
The people of Karnataka should choose a double engine government in the state by voting for BJP in the May 10 Assembly elections instead of a "reverse gear" government of the Congress, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Saturday.
Addressing a massive gathering in Udupi, he said the central government led by Narendra Modi had brought various schemes worth Rs 2,26,418 crore during the last four years in Karnataka, whereas the previous UPA government provided only Rs 99,000 crore to the State during their rule.
"A reverse gear government by Congress will only turn Karnataka into their ATM state. The BJP has to come to power to ensure prosperity, development and peace," he said.
Shah asked the people not to trust the Congress who had backed the Popular Front of India (PFI) while they were in power for political advantage. The BJP government banned the organisation and threw its leaders behind bars, he said.
