Karnataka assembly election: Did PM Modi hit two birds with one stone with Rajasthan visit?

While sounding the election bugle in Rajasthan, the PM also seems to have sent a message across to the voters of Karnataka by way of his two speeches in the border state.

Referring to the Karnataka assembly election, he said the Congress wanted to use the ongoing internal strife in Sudan to its advantage in the poll-bound southern state. He also called the Congress’s ‘Garibi Hatao’ (eradicate poverty) slogan given in the early 1970s as “one of the biggest frauds” committed in the country.
