The fight for Bangalore North has turned into a clash of titans. The BJP’s firebrand leader Shoba Karandlaje will take on Rajeev Gowda, a professor, economist and the Congress candidate. Both are political veterans and it’s a crucial battle for Gowda, with the BJP holding Bangalore North for two decades.
Shabbir Ahmed caught up with Gowda on the campaign trail to discuss a wide range of issues, including Prime Minister Modi’s remarks on Muslims, Karandlaje’s brand of politics, and Gowda’s vision for the constituency.
“In 10 years, the central BJP government has only inflicted pain on people. In 10 months, we have alleviated the pain of our people and taken care of them where it matters,” he says.
