Kalaburgi, Jul 2: Bhagwanth Khuba, the Bharatiya Janata Party MP from Karnataka’s Bidar constituency today dropped a bombshell saying that neither his party nor prime minister Narendra Modi had ever promised to bring back black money stashed in tax havens and distributing it among the citizens.
Giving a report card of the Modi-led NDA government’s performance in the last four years at a press conference here, he accused the Opposition of maligning the image of the PM and his party by exaggerating a few things.
“Can anyone one show me the evidence to prove that BJP had made such a promise during the run-up to 2014 Lok Sabha election or after it,” he challenged.
Asked about the pre-poll promise of creating 2 crore jobs every year, the BJP leader said that his party had not specified that the jobs would be in the public sector.
“We did not promise that we would create two crore government jobs every year. We have taken measures to create small jobs and self-employment by offering financial assistance through MUDRA scheme,” he said.
He went on to claim that the promise of jobs was completely fulfilled by Modi government by extending financial assistance to create small jobs and self-employment. To argue all jobs are equal, he cited a famous Kannada phrase “Kayakave Kailasa” from a Vachana of 12th-century social reformer Basaveshwara.
