Peeved by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's allegations that the Congress government had misappropriated funds sanctioned for Smart Cities project, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday dared Modi to prove the charges of corruption.
Siddaramaiah took to Twitter to hit back at Modi.
PM says “State Govt prefers to loot money rather than work for welfare.” What is the basis of this statement? Why should anyone take a Prime Minister who speaks like this seriously?
Sir, if you have some notes about misuse in smart city program please release it to the press now https://t.co/Sa2IbDGkn0

Addressing the election campaign rally in Tumakuru, Narendra Modi had alleged, The Centre has sanctioned Rs 14,000 crore for the Smart Cities project in the state. But the Congress government has failed to utilise the funds effectively. The ministers are busy filling their pockets, he charged.
