The campaigning for the ensuing Assembly Election in Karnataka has reached at its peak. The frontline leaders of different political parties are trying their level best to sway the voters in their favour.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday took up the second stretch of his road show in Bengaluru covering five Assembly constituencies. Before starting the road show Mr, Modi offered a floral tribute to Bengaluru founder Kempegowda at New Thippasandra. Later addressing a public meeting at Shivamogga, Prime Minister expressed gratitude towards the people of Bengaluru for turning up in huge numbers in his road show. Mr Modi said immense love and trust shown by the people of Bengaluru had touched his heart and he will forever be indebted to Karnataka. Questioning the credibility of the Congress, Mr. Modi said it can never fulfill promises made in its manifesto. He called the Congress’s promise of giving 10 lakh jobs in the next five years, a blatant lie. Senior Party leader Amit Shah participated in a roadshow in the Belagavi South Assembly constituency.
Senior Congress leaders Priyanka Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi also campaigned in the State. Addressing a public meeting at Moodabidri Mrs. Priyanka Gandhi said, the real issues in Karnataka are inflation, unemployment and rampant corruption. Charging BJP of ruining the industry sector in Karnataka, she said, it has brought a culture of corruption in the state. Reiterating the promises made by the party in its manifesto, Mrs. Gandhi said the Congress has fulfilled its promises in Chhattisgarh and Himachal Pradesh and the party will also fulfill them in Karnataka.
Addressing a public rally at Anekal, Mr. Rahul Gandhi said, his party has a line of credible leadership in Karnataka. He alleged, BJP does the politics of hatred and the Congress had to launch the Bharata Jodo Yatra to negate it.
