”India can be developed when there are good crops in the fields and industries expand too,” the PM noted.

Targeting the Congress without naming it, Modi said earlier governments had shirked their responsibilities declaring Yadgiri and surrounding regions of north Karnataka as backward.

”Our government’s priority is not vote bank, our priority is development.” Referring to the double engine government (BJP governments at Centre and State), Modi said, ”it means double welfare. You can see how Karnataka is benefitting by this.”
