Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi failed to provide two crore jobs per year as promised by him.
Gowda was accompanied by his son and JD(S) Karnataka chief H D Kumaraswamy and senior party leader H D Revanna.

Arun Singh will hear out party leaders and workers in Mysuru, Mandya, Hassan and Chamarajanagar districts to strengthen the party. The BJP has failed all these years to make inroads in the Vokkaliga dominated region. The JD(S) and Congress had got the lion's share of seats in elections.
It will be second time Gowda will enter the Rajya Sabha, 24 years after he was its member as the prime minster from June 1996 to April 1997 of the United Front government of secular and regional parties from across the country.
Congress will reportedly give its surplus votes to JDS leader and former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda in the event of a contest in Karnataka.
In a video message on Thursday, the JD(S) leader appealed to supporters to stay away from the venue, promising a bigger event when the situation returned to normal.
Thirteen MLAs, including 10 who had joined BJP from parties, including Congress and the JD(S), are expected to take an oath.
