Hinting at a mid-term poll, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called upon the Congress in Karnataka to be prepared for 'winds of change' in October when the Janata Dal(S) is slated to handover the Chief Minister's post to the BJP.
Dr Singh arrived in Bangalore on Friday on a day's trip, mainly to review issues relating to the agriculture scenario in the State and implementation of the farmers' package in six distressed districts.
Addressing the party workers soon after his arrival, he said the time had come for 'winds of changes' in the State. ''I do not know what will happen in October,'' he said, obviously referring to the transfer of power to the BJP under the power sharing formula between the BJP and the JD(S).
<b>Urging his party men not to allow the BJP to come to power in the State, the Prime Minister stated that the BJP was a communal party, which played divisive politics. </b>
Dr Singh recalled that the previous NDA Government at the Centre was marked by instances of communal disharmony and divisive politics. Whereas, he said the Congress-led UPA had sought to strengthen the secular base and was committed to respect fundamental human rights and rule of law.
The Prime Minister maintained that by all accounts the UPA had done ''pretty well'' and India had become one of the four or five fastest developing economies in the world. The growth rate was nine per cent per year, the highest since Independence, he added.
The government declared a holiday for its employees in the State Secretariat at Vidhana Soudha, the venue of the Prime Minister's review meeting, as a security measure.
Earlier in the day, Finance Minister P Chidambaram reviewed the progress of various mega infrastructure projects in the State.
Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar is later scheduled to brief the media on the review of the agriculture sector in Karnataka.
The usual chaotic vehicular traffic in Bangalore was thrown further out of gear by the movement of the VIP convoys.Â

Now we know why Moron Singh is behaving like a brain dead in Goa and Vidharbha. It can't see farmers problem in AP or Maharastra or Kerala or West Bengal. He and his party celebrates release of Muslim terrorist and this moron calls others communal. Time had come he should stand in front of mirror and beat himself.
