He highlighted the need for good crops and expanding industries to achieve this goal. Without naming the Congress, Modi criticized previous governments for not addressing the needs of the backward regions of north Karnataka.
He emphasized that his government’s priority is development rather than vote bank. He also pointed out that the dual governance of the BJP at the center and state level will bring double welfare for the state of Karnataka.
