Meanwhile, in his recent visit to Karnataka's Dakshina Kannada, Amit Shah launched a scathing attack on the Congress and the JD(S), stating that both the opposition parties in Karnataka are supporters of Tipu Sultan (erstwhile ruler of Mysuru). Shah, who is also the Union Co-operation Minister, was addressing a large gathering after inaugurating the golden jubilee celebrations of Central Arecanut and Cocoa Marketing and Processing Co-operative Limited (Campko) at Puttur in Dakshina Kannada district.

"You must decide whether you should vote for the JD(S) and the Congress which are supporters of Tipu Sultan, or your votes should go to the believers of Rani Abbakka (local queen who fought the Portuguese)," he said.

Shah said that only the BJP can work for the development of Karnataka, something the JD(S) or Congress can never do.

"The Congress had released 1,700 workers of the Popular Front of India (PFI), while Prime Minister Narendra Modi has banned the outfit. Congress' appeasement policies have damaged national integration and security," Shah stated.

He added that only the BJP under the able leadership of Prime Minister Modi can keep the state safe.
