Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai wants to create base of permanent BJP voters in coastal belt

Kickstarting the BJP’s campaign for the 2023 Assembly elections in Karnataka, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said that the popularity and strength of the Congress is waning with each day in India.

Addressing a convention of BJP workers at B.C. Road, near Mangaluru, on April 13 after winding up his three-day tour of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts, Mr. Bommai said that the Congress is disconnected from the people and their minds.
