Jewargi (Karnataka), Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday said that Narendra Modi has become the Prime Minister of the country not to ensure the welfare of the people, but to feed the rich and loot the country and exploit the poor. ,

The AICC chief was addressing a public meeting here in favor of his son-in-law Radhakrishna Doddamani, the Congress candidate from Gulbarga Lok Sabha constituency. Voting is to be held in this area on May 7.

Kharge, who has previously represented Gulbarga twice in Parliament, lost to BJP's Umesh Jadhav in the 2019 general elections here - the octogenarian leader's first electoral defeat in his political career spanning several decades.

Citing his age as well as his role in managing the Congress party at the national level and coordinating with the Indian faction, he is not contesting the elections this time."Our alliance of 26 parties (India Bloc) is fighting together, which Modi makes fun of by saying that we have no leader, while he is there (for NDA). H says 'Modi hai toh mumkin hai' 'Anything is possible.' H claims he has a 56-inch chest, what should we do with it? Kharge asked.

Addressing a public meeting here, he said, 'Modi has not become the Prime Minister for the welfare of the people, Modi has become the Prime Minister to feed the rich, help the rich loot and exploit the poor by listening to the RSS.' “He doesn’t care about the poor and doesn’t listen to them.”

Kharge also claimed that after the Congress criticized President Draupada Murmu for not being invited for the consecration of the idol of Ram Lalla at the Ram temple in Ayodhya, he has been invited, and he visited the temple today.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar and other Congress leaders were present at the public meeting.Highlighting the points of the Congress election manifesto, Kharge claimed that the Mods are frustrated and disappointed after seeing the party's pro-people manifesto, and hence they have started attacking the Congress party.

"I don't know how many times he (Modi) takes the name of God. I don't know how many human gods he prays to at home, but he never stops attacking Congress. He attacks Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi every day. They speak against Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and I, and try to create hatred among people towards us,” he said.

Accusing Modi of trying to create a rift between communities, he said the PM has also compared the Congress manifesto with the Muslim League manifesto.He said, "So I sought time from him to explain to him (Modi) about our manifesto. I wrote him a letter, to which he has not responded yet. He has not responded because he has nothing to say." "

Referring to Congress' 'justice guarantee', the AICC chief accused Modi of being a supporter of the rich and said, "The fight (in this election) is between Modi on one side and the people of the country on the other side. People will do it."" set."
