Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday chose Channapatna, the Janata Dal (Secular) bastion where party leader H.D. Kumaraswamy is contesting, to launch a tirade against the regional outfit and described it as the B-team of the Congress.
Addressing a poll convention at Channapatna of Ramanagara district, Mr. Modi alleged, “Every vote cast for the JD(S) is a vote for the 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 the Congress are the reason for instability in Karnataka”.
“Karnataka is a kind of ATM for the JD(S) and the 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 the BJP can do it,” he claimed.
