Kumaraswamy hits back at Modi over charge he is remote

Stung by the Prime Minister's jibe that he was remote controlled by the Congress, Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy Wednesday retorted that Narendra Modi should gather enough information about the state, "which has the best programmes in the country,"before speaking in public.

"I never stabbed (anybody) like the BJP did.

As prime minister,while talking about a state government, it would have been better had Modi gathered all the information before speaking in public," a visibly upset chief minister told reporters.

Kumaraswamy alleged that Modi targeted him only to hide his 'failures' in the last four-and-half years.

"He should know that our programmes are the best in the country. Let him gather more information about our government," the chief minister said.

He also tweeted, "Respected Prime Minister, I expected you to speak the truth while addressing the people at Kalyana Karnataka, the land of Sharanas who advocated Kayaka Tatva."
Maybe @narendramodi's experience of him being controlled from Nagpur is making him comment against others."
Addressing a gathering at Kalaburagi earlier in the day, Modi said, "This Congress, which reached the corridors of power by stabbing the people of Karnataka, and the chief minister who is being run on remote control, have not yet availed the list of beneficiary farmers."
