Meanwhile, at a rally in Bangarpet in Karnataka on Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused members of Congress party of being loyal to 10 Janpath in Delhi and not to the people of the country.
The Prime Minister said that Congress has lost wherever elections have been held in recent past. He said that the mindset of the Congress party is that when they win elections, people give them the license to do corruption.
“Now it is Karnataka’s turn to bid farewell to Congress…Congress has decimated the pride of Karnataka in the last five years. They are now spoiling the future of the state,” said Prime Minister Modi in his election campaign rally.
Earlier, Rahul Gandhi had also targeted Janata Dal Secular (JDS), the party of former prime minister HD Deve Gowda. He had asked the party to make it clear to the people if they were with the BJP or against it.
