After several days of political slugfest over alleged sexual abuse by JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna, the State Congress on Friday changed the campaign track and blasted the BJP for its lack of concern for the poor and downtrodden.
The issues of poverty, unemployment, and inflation had taken a backseat during the campaign for the last few days and the alleged sexual abuse by Mr. Prajwal Revanna and the murder of student Neha Hiremath dominated the electoral theme of both the Congress and the BJP.
At an election rally at Mundagod in Uttara Kannada, KPCC president and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar alleged that the Union government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi had neglected the poor and many people had lost their lives owing to poor management of COVID-19 pandemic. He also alleged rampant corruption in the management of COVID-19 vaccination drives.
