In response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s intense poll campaigning in the State, especially in the Kalyana Karnataka region, All India Congress Committee (AICC) president M. Mallikarjun Kharge has said that Mr. Modi has suddenly developed a special affection for Karnataka, especially Kalaburagi district.
“The Prime Minister is campaigning in Kalaburagi and Yadgir districts. He is even going to taluk centres and remote areas. This shows how Mr. Modi and his party are afraid of the Congress wave in the State, especially in Kalyana Karnataka region,” Mr. Kharge said at an election rally at Aland in Kalaburagi district on Wednesday, a day after Mr. Modi participated in a roadshow in Kalaburagi city.
Questioning Mr. Modi’s silence over the rampant corruption in the BJP government in the State, the Congress veteran said that the Prime Minister’s non-tolerance towards corruption is a hoax.
