Congress legislature party leader Siddaramaiah, wondered why people vote for the BJP in Karnataka despite the previous Congress government and the current coalition government doing good work. “It is we [Congress and JD(S)] which gave free rice to the poor, free milk and shoes to students and incentives to milk producers,” Siddaramaiah said. “It is we who waived farm loans. Yet you [people] vote for the BJP. I don’t know what you see in the BJP,” the former chief minister said after laying the foundation for a new gram panchayat building in Alur SK village in Badami.
