New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has begun his roadshow in Bengaluru, ahead of the Karnataka elections, and is scheduled to address two public meetings today - one in Shivamogga Rural at around 3.15 PM and another in Nanjangud at 5.45 PM. The roadshow will traverse a 10-km journey from Kempegowda Statue, New Tippasandra to Trinity Circle, MG Road.
He will conclude the day with pooja and darshan at Nanjanagudu Shri Srikanteshwara Swami Temple at 7 PM. Notably, Karnataka will go to polls next week on May 10 while the counting of votes will take place on May 13.
The Prime Minister reached Karnataka on Friday and has been addressing a number of rallies since then in the state.
On Saturday, PM Modi held a massive roadshow in Bengaluru which passed through around 13 Assembly constituencies.
Modi on Saturday 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?"
