CM looks like real estate agent to farmers, says Ashoka

Bengaluru: Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly R Ashoka on Friday slammed the Congress for celebrating 100 days under Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, adding that the CM “looks like a real estate agent” to farmers and ordinary people.Addressing a press conference, Ashoka said: “To farmers and ordinary people, D K Shivakumar looks like a real estate agent. Apart from ‘swallowing’ Lalbagh, Sankey Tank, Hebbal Lake, 9,000 acres at Bidadi, and 3,000 acres at Anekal, he has done nothing else. Four months into the drought, no one has received any relief.”’No value for workers’: Former Karnataka MLA Narendra Babu quits BJP, to rejoin Congress The LoP accused the ruling Congress of “postponing” the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) elections, fearing that people will “reject” them.”They snatched the Rs 4,000 from the Kisan Samman scheme brought by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. They cancelled the Raitha Vidyanidhi scheme. In this way, they have betrayed farmers. It has become ‘zero’ in achievement, No 1 in publicity.’ One minister has already resigned, so instead of a celebration meeting, they should have held a condolence meeting.”Referring to issues concerning Bengaluru, Ashoka said, “They spoke of ‘freedom from garbage,’ but garbage has not been cleared anywhere. There is garbage even in front of CM D K Shivakumar’s house. The Rs 40 that flat owners used to pay for garbage has been raised to Rs 400.”
