Congress vote share will reduce by 10% with Kharge’s ‘poisonous snake’ remark, says Yediyurappa

Taking a dig at AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge for his “poisonous snake” remark against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa has said that the Congress is going to pay a heavy electoral price for insulting Mr. Modi.

Addressing an election rally at Kamalapur village (Kalaburagi Rural Assembly Constituency) in the district on Friday, Mr. Yediyurappa said that Mr. Kharge’s statement reflects what he [Mr. Kharge] himself and the Congress feel about Mr. Modi.

“Mr. Kharge’s mind is filled with poison and the people of the State will give a befitting reply to the Congress on May 10 through the electoral ballots. I am sure that the Congress is going to lose at least 10% of its vote share in this election for Mr. Kharge’s statement against the Prime Minister,” Mr. Yediyurappa added.
