The BJP attacked the Congress government on the occasion of its first anniversary by terming its achievement in the last one year as “zero” and demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for the “lacklustre” performance.

Addressing a press conference, BJP State unit president B.Y. Vijayendra and Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly R. Ashok alleged that the Congress government had not only emptied the State treasury but had also turned the state into a safe haven for murderers. They demanded that the Governor dismiss the government if the Chief Minister did not resign.

Mr. Vijayendra alleged that not even a single development work had been launched in the State in the last one year.

He said there were huge expectations from the Congress government with respect to development following its thumping majority and the tall claims of its leaders about development. However, they had now been turned false, he maintained.

Though the Chief Minister and Ministers were talking about their achievements, common people were confused as no development was visible to them, he said.

Arguing that implementation of guarantee schemes alone would not lead to development, he alleged that the government had failed to handle its responsibilities during the drought.

Accusing the government of being indifferent towards the problems of farmers, he said it had failed to either waive crop loans or compensate crop losses though 692 farmers had committed suicide of late. He pointed out that milk farmers were yet to get incentive amount for the last eight to ten months.
