He took a jibe at former CM HDKumaraswamy, and saying '' He thinks he will be kingmaker.''
About PM Modi's rally, he said, ''This election BJP has dependent a lot on PM Modi. Local leaders have no face value.''

About his retorts to PM Modi'jibes and he said, the '' I can't ignore PM Modi's jibes calling me 'Seeddha rupaiya', '10 percent government'. If I keep quite people will believe these jibes.''
On Mahadayi issue, '' Sonia Gandhi was not a PM. But Modi is PM. He had told us to talk to Goa Congress. That was not expected of him. Being a PM it is his responsibility to relove the issue. He should not drag Sonia Gandhi into this issue.''
Siddaramaiah alleged that PM Modi is hiding failure of his government by rasing such issue. He is For example, rise of fuel prices in the country. He asked why there was a steep rise in prices when crude oil prices are falling.
Where are the ache din? State BJP leaders are in illusion that Modi can change fortune of the party in Karnataka.
