Earlier on Saturday, Former Congress President and UPA Chair Sonia Gandhi launched a scathing attack on the BJP and Prime Minister Modi during her first electoral rally in four years in Hubballi, Karnataka. In response to BJP President JP Nadda's remark about 'PM Modi's blessing,' the senior politician stated that the people of Karnataka do not need anyone's blessing. "The BJP is threatening people and saying that if the BJP does not win the state, it will not receive PM Modi's blessings," she said. 

"Neither Karnataka nor India can progress unless the atmosphere of the BJP's loot, lies, ego, and hatred is removed," Gandhi said at her first public rally in the poll-bound state, which votes on May 10.

The elections in the southern state will be held in a single phase on May 10. The votes will be counted on May 13.
