JD(S) ‘B-team’ of Congress, both parties responsible for instability in Karnataka, says PM Modi in Channapatna

Attacking the Janata Dal (Secular) and the Congress for being the reason for instability in Karnataka, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday termed the JD(S) the B-team of the Congress. Every vote cast for the JD(S) is a vote for the Congress, he said.

“Each vote to JD(S) will go to Congress and will bring instability. Though they are seen as different, their hearts remain together and increase corruption. In Delhi, they are together. These unstable governments are formed to loot (people) and not for development. The JD(S) and Congress are the reason for instability in Karnataka,” he said at a huge campaign rally in Chennapatna, near Ramanagara district.

“Karnataka is a kind of ATM for the JD(S) and Congress. However, the BJP sees Karnataka as an important growth engine for the country. This election is very special and will decide the State’s development for the next 25 years. This election is about making Karnataka the number one state, and only BJP can do it.”
