5. Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra did a road show in Vijaynagar, Bengaluru in view of the assembly elections. Targeting the BJP, he said that the biggest issue today is inflation. Inflation is increasing, so it is the duty of the government to give some relief to those who are facing the most burden of inflation, but BJP is known as ‘40% government’. We are very sure. I can only see the response that we have got from the public. The people of Karnataka want an end to corruption.

6. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, while making an emotional appeal to the voters for their support at an election rally in Kalaburagi, said that the people of the state can take pride in the fact that he is the president of the All India Congress Committee as the ‘son of the soil’ of the state.

Will continue to fight for and try to protect their interests.

7. Former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa said that Narendra Modi After becoming the Prime Minister, India became a super power in a few years. We are at 5th position now and in next 20-25 years we will be at 1st or 2nd position. Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah understood the situation of the state by conducting road shows and rallies. I am sure we will definitely win 135 seats. 100% Lingayat community is with us. Congress is trying its level best to create some problems but their objective will not be achieved. Almost all Lingayat Swamis are with us and they told me that they will support BJP.

8. Union Home Minister Amit Shah said in a conversation with ANI that I have visited all the areas of Karnataka. The trend, enthusiasm and support towards BJP in all regions is huge as compared to last election. BJP will form the government with absolute majority. He said that all I want to say is that if you want to increase the Muslim reservation from 4% to 6%, then the Congress party should make it clear that whom they will reduce. OBC, SC, ST, Lingayat or Voklinga, whom will they reduce?

9. Karnataka Congress chief DK Shivakumar countered Amit Shah’s statement and said that we do not need to learn from Amit Shah about reservation and the Constitution. It was the Congress government which gave the constitution to the country and now we are protecting it. The BJP was so sure that they would not show the face of the Prime Minister here, Amit Shah had said that Basavaraj Bommai would lead the government, but now they are saying vote for Modi. Modi ji cannot run the government here.

10. On Sonia Gandhi’s statement, BJP national president JP Nadda said that the sovereignty she has spoken is the result of the mental bankruptcy of the Congress party’s thinking. It is very condemnable and worrying to say anything and say anything for the sake of votes. She has also been an MP and is still and Kharge sahab has also been. If we talk about the sovereignty of Karnataka, it is an insult to the thousands and millions of people of Karnataka who fought for India’s independence, but they are using such words to please the people.
