Karnataka Elections: Siddaramaiah calls Modi as.....

Bangalore, April 28: Mocking the Karnataka Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) unit, chief minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday called Prime Minister Narendra Modi "north Indian imports" during the election campaign for 12 May polls in Karnataka and said the BJP had no leaders in the state.

He also made sensational comments that the Karnataka Assembly elections are like a war between North and south Indians. Predicting a Congress victory, Siddaramaiah claimed BJP's chief ministerial candidate was always "a weak man" and would not win the election.

"Yeddyurappa is always weak, not just now. He is a tainted person. How can a tainted person be strong?... People are not ready to accept him as a leader because his personality is tainted," he added.

Siddaramaiah is now contesting from Chamundeshwari in Mysuru and Badami in Bagalkot district in north Karnataka.
