'Congress placed Karnataka on world map'
Hubli, May 13: Minister of Science and Technology and senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal today claimed that the party had given a base and the right environment for overall development of Karnataka and people should consider this and vote the party back to power.
Speaking
to
reporters
here
he
said
only
Congress
had
helped
the
state
to
secure
a
place
in
the
world
map
as
the
hub
of
Information
Technology
sector.
In
education,
industry
and
employment
generation
the
state
was
in
the
forefront
and
contribution
by
the
Congress
was
the
main
cause
for
this
success,
he
also
claimed.
''This
is
the
reason
for
which
people
of
Karnataka
will
have
to
bring
back
Congress
by
ensuring
the
victory
of
its
candidates
in
the
assmbly
elections.
The
people
have
seen
the
'tamasha'
of
the
20-month
rule
of
JD(S)-BJP
coalition
government,
which
has
ruined
the
state's
progress,''
he
alleged.
Lashing out at Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, who is campaigning in the state for BJP with a promise that the party would provide Karnataka with a government on 'Gujarat model', Mr Sibal said Gujarat was at the bottom in the field of education. Karnataka had three times the number of medical and engineering colleges compared to Gujarat, he said.
''Is there any need for such a government'', he asked, saying the Congress had a clear vision for the state. Only Congress could provide a stable government in Karnataka, he claimed.
