BJP provides Telangana flavour to Karnataka polls

“Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao is funding the Congress campaign... Congress cannot get funds to implement its promises, as it is not in power at the Centre. BJP alone has the capacity to develop the State on all fronts with a double-engine government with generous funding from Centre, so please vote for the Lotus.”

This is TS BJP president and MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar going on a verbal offensive against KCR in his usual attacking style. Wait! This is not in Telangana, this is in Bengaluru suburbs where the BJP leader has been campaigning for the Karnataka Assembly elections.

More than a dozen TS leaders and many other ‘divisional’ leaders from districts adjoining Karnataka have been drafted for the no holds barred, high voltage campaign for elections by the Central leadership which has become crucial for both the BJP and the Congress Party with the Janata Dal (S) possibly playing the critical third party role.
