Former CMs Siddaramaiah, HDK stopped central schemes, says BJP President Nadda
On Monday, BJP President JP Nadda charged the former chief minister of Karnataka with putting up barriers to the state's adoption of federal programmes that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had pioneered.
The comment was made by the BJP national president on Tuesday during a roadshow in the Chikkaballapur district's Sidlaghatta.
"Governments of former CMs Siddaramaiah and HD Kumaraswamy created bottlenecks in a bid to stop implementation of the schemes of the Narendra Modi government at the Centre. Schemes like PM Yashasvi Scheme and Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi were stopped. Earlier, Siddaramaiah's government also did the same thing," said Nadda.

Reservation based on religion unconstitutional, says Amit Shah in poll-bound Karnataka
Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister, declared on Monday that religiously-based reservations are illegal and that the BJP will apply the quota system used by the Karnataka administration, which is led by Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai.
In addition, nowhere has a non-Lingayat candidate taken the place of a Lingayat, according to the BJP, which distributed tickets for the 10 Karnataka Assembly elections in May on the basis of winnability rather than majority or minority.
Shah predicted that former chief minister Jagadish Shettar, who just defected from the BJP and joined the Congress, will lose the election since Hubballi-Dharwad has always supported the BJP.

A meeting between the leaders was scheduled for early in April. The conference has been postponed, according to sources, because of the assembly elections in Karnataka on 10 May.
According to the reports, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has already spoken to the leaders of a number of other parties about hosting the summit sometime next month.
On 25 April, Union Home Minister Amit Shah will deliver speeches during gatherings in the communities of Yadagiri, Teradal, and Devarhippargi in the Vijayapura district. Additionally, he’ll take part in a roadshow in Yadagiri.
