Karnataka Election: PM Narendra Modi, Amit Shah and Rahul Gandhi will all campaign today

New Delhi: As the Karnataka assembly election 2018 date nears, political parties have intensified the level of campaigning with their star campaigners addressing public meetings across the state. BJP's star campaigner Prime Minister Narendra Modi began his campaign today by addressing a public meeting at Bangarapet. During the rally in Bangarapet, PM Modi targeted Mr Gandhi over his admission that he is ready for the job of the nation's Prime Minister. "There are leaders waiting for 40 years... He came like those bullies, barging his way ahead when there are others who have many years of experience. How can someone just declare himself as the PM? Does this not show that his level of arrogance has touched the skies?" BJP chief will hold a 70-km road show from Tumkur to Bengaluru. Earlier today, Congress President Rahul Gandhi began his campaigning with a visit to Dodda Ganapathi Temple in Basavanagudi.

On Tuesday, nearly 10,000 voter ID cards were found in a Bengaluru apartment, which set off political sparring at midnight and demands by the BJP that voting in the constituency be cancelled before the Karnataka election on Saturday.  

Here are the highlights from the Karnataka assembly election 2018 campaign:

"Siddaramaiah government will resort to all kinds of unscrupulous activities in election. Their ministers are distributing money to influence voters. Fake voter ID Cards were found. The election commission should take this seriously. Trends are in favor of BJP. We'll form government with absolute majority," said Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

Congress has no respect for Election Commission, CBI, Army: PM Modi
  • After facing defeats in every election, now Congress party is busy in criticizing the EVMs and the Election Commission. For them EVM and EC are wrong and only Congress is right
  • Congress leaders are out on bail in a Rs. 5,000 crore scam. They now question the judiciary and even call for impeachment of the Chief Justice
  • Congress has absolutely no respect for many of our prominent institutions. Be it EC, CBI, Army, ED or Vice Presidents'd office, Cong has been on a spree to disrespect and belittle these great institutions
  • Ever since Congress' Ex President and current President are out on bail, they've been attacking even the Judiciary. They think PM's office is solely their right. Congress thinks, if it moves an impeachment motion against CJI, all lower courts will fall in line
  • Income Tax department conducted raids in Badami. Huge stashes of cash and jewellery were seized. Such acts of Congress are defaming Badami and entire Karnataka
