New Delhi: With just two days left before the election campaign comes to an end in Karnataka, both BJP and Congress on Wednesday will be fielding its top leaders to woo voters. While Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address four rallies in Bangarpet, Chikmagalur, Belgavi and Bidar, BJP chief Amit Shah will conduct roadshows in capital city Bengaluru and Tumkur districts. Meanwhile, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi will steer the party’s campaign in Bengaluru.

In a midnight drama on Tuesday, BJP alleged that 10,000 voter ID cards found at an apartment in Bengaluru was linked to a Congress leader Munirathna Naidu and demanded that the elections to Raja Rajeshwari Nagar constituency be cancelled. The Congress, in a late night press conference, denied the charges and alleged that the saffron party “enacted the drama in an apartment owned by their own leader.”

Earlier on Tuesday, addressing a rally after a gap of two years, UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi criticised PM Modi as a leader “who talks and talks” but is silent on issues that matter. PM Modi also attacked the grand old party, claiming that the Congress is planning to blame faulty EVMs for its defeat in the polls.

 

 Rahul Gandhi, on Tuesday, while campaigning in Karnataka claimed that Narendra Modi will not be the Prime Minister of India again. Adding that a convergence of Opposition parties will lead to the downfall of the BJP in the next Lok Sabha polls, Gandhi said, “As a political analyst, I will tell you — you may laugh over what I say — that it is highly unlikely that the BJP will form the next government. And it is close to impossible that Narendra Modi will be the Prime Minister of India (after next polls).” Asked whether he could become the Prime Minister in 2019, Rahul said it would depend on the Congress’s performance. “If the Congress party is the biggest party, sure I will be,’’ he said. Rahul said that all Opposition parties had resolved to “remove the BJP and RSS from power’’.
