Sonia Gandhi, Congress President
"The BJP government in Karnataka has acquired a dubious reputation for unparalleled loot and corruption, illegal mining and land grabbing deals", she said, as she undertook the second and final leg of her campaign. The BJP has betrayed people's mandate and let them down badly. There has been a complete collapse of administration. This is time for change." -
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh
"Bad governance, sloppy development work and corruption has slowed down growth in Karnataka.I have come to Karnataka on behalf of the Congress party to ask for votes as only the Congress could work for the state's development."
