He is the only PM who tells lies, entire India knows this: Karnataka Minister Ramalinga Reddy

Karnataka Minister Ramalinga Reddy accuses PM Modi of false claims, echoing Congress chief Kharge's criticism amid BJP's 11-year rule scrutiny.

"He is the only PM who tells lies. Entire India knows this. – Ramalinga Reddy"

Bengaluru, June 12

Backing Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Karnataka Minister Ramalinga Reddy on Thursday said the PM is known for making false claims and "entire India knows this."

Speaking to reporters, Minister Reddy said, "He is the only PM who tells lies. Entire India knows this.BJP people are liars. Why do you give prominence to those people?"

Responding to a question on the recent stampede incident in Bengaluru, Reddy said it would not be appropriate to comment at this stage as an official investigation is underway.

"Already, an inquiry is going on. It's better not to comment on it now," the minister said.

Meanwhile, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge had earlier sharpened his attack on Prime Minister Modi, marking the completion of 11 years of the BJP-led government at the Centre. Drawing from his decades-long political experience, Kharge alleged that he had "never seen a Prime Minister who lies so much."

The Congress President said that he had been in politics for 65 years and alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had been deceiving the youth and securing votes by luring the poor.

Kharge added, "I had been saying this in Parliament for a long time, and I had never seen a Prime Minister who lied so much, made so many mistakes, trapped people, deceived the youth, and took votes by misleading them. I had been in politics for 65 years. He lied about everything, and not a single promise was implemented."

Furthermore, the Congress President highlighted that PM Narendra Modi did not respond whenever he was questioned on issues such as demonetisation, MSP, or unemployment.

"When we asked him, he did not have any answers--whether it was about demonetisation, unemployment, or MSP. There were so many such issues. He never told the people that he had misled them. He just kept making one statement after another and claimed that his 11 years were over," Kharge added.

This kind of language from ministers is disappointing. Whether BJP or Congress, our leaders should maintain decorum. Public figures accusing each other of lying only erodes trust in democracy. Focus on policies, not personal attacks!

Finally someone speaking truth to power! Modi ji makes big promises but where are the jobs? Where is the acche din? Congress may not be perfect but at least they're calling out these false claims. #AccountabilityMatters

Pot calling kettle black! Congress ruled for decades with empty promises. Now they lecture about truth? 🤦‍♂️ All politicians need to stop this blame game and work for development. India deserves better than this circus.

As a Karnataka resident, I'm more concerned about the stampede incident than political mudslinging. Minister Reddy is right to wait for investigation, but why bring PM into this? Focus on solving local issues first!

Kharge ji has 65 years experience but what has Congress delivered? Modi government built roads, gave homes, opened bank accounts for poor. Actions speak louder than political accusations. Data doesn't lie! 🇮🇳

Whether BJP or Congress, we need constructive criticism with facts. Just saying "he lies" without specific examples helps no one. Our media should focus on policy analysis rather than sensational statements. Democracy needs informed debates!
