Karnataka Elections 2023: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will continue his poll campaign for the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) in Karnataka for the third day in a row. The Prime Minister reached Karnataka on Friday and has been addressing a number of rallies since then in the state. In the same line, he will do a 6-Km long roadshow in Bengaluru on Sunday from Kempegowda Statue, New Tippasandra to Trinity Circle, MG Road.
The PM will then address two public meetings - one at Shivamogga Rural at around 3:15 PM and another in Nanjangud at 5:45 PM. He will conclude the day with pooja and darshan at Nanjanagudu Shri Srikanteshwara Swami Temple at 7 PM.
Notably, Karnataka is set to go to polls on May 10 and the campaigning is in its last phase with all parties putting in their everything in an attempt to win the state.
On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on rival Congress and said that the grand old party has only one work of abusing Lingayats, OBCs and Modi. Addressing a rally in Karnataka's Badami, he said the BJP has come here to make the state number 1, adding that 'your one vote will make Karnataka number 1'. The Prime Minister further said that the strong enthusiasm here shows that there will again be the inception of the 'Double-Engine Govt' in Karnataka, hinting towards BJP's win in the upcoming polls.
"BJP has come up with a road map to make Karnataka, the Number-1 State in the country," he said.
Hitting out at former CM Siddaramaiah, he said, "Although Siddaramaiah has understood that it is futile for him to try your area, but if you ever come across him then ask him that why were people here deprived of the fundamental facilities before. Why wasn't there any development and transformation in their lives?"
