Chikkaballapur (KTK), April 13 (PTI) Narendra Modi
today took a jibe at JDS chief H D Deve Gowda for his remark
that he will "quit" Karnataka if BJP forms the government,
saying the former PM was welcome in Gujarat where he will
serve him more than his son.
"You are the former prime minister and I am like your
son. If it has become difficult for you to stay here, I pray
you, don't worry, I will extend all facilities in Gujarat for
you.
"If you want to stay in an old age home, if you want to
take a home there, if you want to stay in a farm house and if
you want to stay with me, I will serve you more than your son.
Please accept my invitation. I am ready to serve you," Modi,
the BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate, said addressing a rally
here.
Gowda had yesterday said in Shimoga that would take
"political sanyas" and quit his state if Modi-led BJP reached
the magic figure of 272-plus seats to form government at the
Centre.
"He can never reach his numbers. If he achieves it, then
I will take political sanyas, "Gowda had told reporters,
adding that BJP's ideology was aimed at destroying the unity
and harmony in the country.
Modi, addressing the rally, urged the voters to elect not
less than 300 BJP MPs to the Lok Sabha so as to provide a
strong government at the Centre.
"If there is a strong government at the Centre, then we
can take strong decisions and the country will become
stronger," he said.
He claimed that Congress will fail to open its account in
several states and will never cross the double digit in other
states.
Modi raised the issue of interlinking of rivers, saying
it is crucial for the country to keep a check on floods and
drought.
"If we fail to interlink the rivers, nature will not
forgive us. What kind of country is ours where on one hand
villages are being destroyed because of floods and on the
other end there is drought. We have to fulfil the promise of
Atalji by linking the rivers," he said.
