Voting for JD(S) means voting for Congress: PM Modi tells voters in Belur
Belur: Calling the JD(S) and the Congress two sides of the same coin, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said during a BJP campaign here on Sunday that voting for the JD(S) would be equivalent of voting for the Congress.
Addressing a mega campaign convention of the party near Surapura on the outskirts of the town, prior to the Karnataka Assembly election, Modi told the people, “The JD(S) is hoping to loot the people of the state even if it gets barely 15 to 20 seats. Voting for the JD(S) would, therefore, be like voting for the Congress.”
BJP National General Secretary CT Ravi, Union Minister Shobha Karandlaje, BJP candidates Hullahalli Suresh, GVT Basavaraj, Cement Manju, Devaraje Gowda, Belli Prakash and Yoga Ramesh, legislator AT Ramaswamy, Renu Kumar, Adagur Anand and others were present at the convention.
