Stung by the attack launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath against him, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah today took to micro-blogging site Twitter to hit out at them.
With hashtag #ModiHitWicket, Siddaramaiah posed a" question to Modi as he arrived for extensive canvassing in" Kalaburagi, Ballari and Bengaluru.
Siddaramaiah reminded Modi to mention about the "loot of Rs 35,000 crore worth iron ore""allegedly by BJP's Janardhana Reddy.
Congress has alleged that eight of "Reddy Gang" members have been given ticket for the assembly election.
Siddaramaiah tweeted, "Dear PM Modi, As you arrive in" Bellary, we look forward to hear your commentary on" corruption. Don't forget to mention Reddy's record scam score" of 35,000 cr & still not out.
With star players like"Yeddy-Reddy, your score in Karnataka will be well short of"60."
He also asked Modi how he was asking for vote for "a" candidate who is the brother of the mining mafia kingpin G" Janardhana Reddy who brought shame to Bellry & the state."
"And"you say Congress has insulted Bellary. Pray, how?" " " "
He concluded his tweet by saying "There should be a limit"to lies."" " "
They neglected General (K M) Cariappa," Modi told an election rally, as he sought to connect with the voters of the home state of the two legends of the Army."
I want the new" generation of Karnataka to know about Congress party's attitude towards the chief of army, who was the son of Karnataka."
Yadav tweeted, "No sir, Krishna Menon was Defence" Minister from April 1957 to October 1962. Thimayya was Army Chief from May 1957 to May 1961. Sir can't the PMO afford"a fact-checker? It's so embarrassing!"
Siddaramaiah's six questions pertained to when Centre would give approval to Kannada flag, amendment to rules for banking recruitment exams;
making knowledge fof Kannada knowledge" compulsory for banking jobs in Karnataka, his intervention on"Mahadayi river row between Karnataka and Goa;
