In a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday wondered why the "omnipresent and omniscient" leader could not see the "loot" happening in Karnataka by the â40 per cent commission government' of the BJP.
Addressing a public rally here in Vijayapura district ahead of Assembly election on May 10, she sought to know why the âvikas purush' (development man) Narendra Modi still says that he has a dream of developing Karnataka and presents it to the nation as the "development model".
The whole world calls the PM "omnipotent", supreme, and "greatest of all" and âvikas purush', the Congress leader said in a sarcastic tone, adding that Modi keeps
saying that it is his dream of developing the state and projecting it as a model for the rest of the country.
"You (Modi) are supreme, omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. Why couldn't you fulfil your dream? When your own government was plundering people by becoming â40 per cent commission government' what were you doing?" Vadra asked.
