Ilkal (Karnataka) [India], April 16 (ANI): Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Friday hit out at Congress leader SR Patil for holding a five-day tractor rally seeking the early implementation of irrigation projects in the northern region saying that the latter did not do anything when his party was in power.

"Patil would have earned fame if Congress government had tried to implement the irrigation projects. He himself was a minister, it was their own government. He is taking out a rally without doing anything when was in power," Bommai told media persons here.
