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.

Union Minister Puri says he will support if Mangaluru were to organise Energy Security summit
Mangaluru (Karnataka), Jan 11: Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri has urged Dakshina Kannada MP Brijesh Chowta to organise an energy security summit in Mangaluru in collaboration with oil marketing companies.
Puri was addressing a session on India’s energy security at the seventh edition of the Mangaluru Literature Festival on Saturday.
He said the proposed summit could serve as an extension of India Energy Week, which he described as the “fulcrum” of the country's energy sector engagements.
“We can easily do it. If you want to organise an event here, talk to the oil marketing companies—I will support it,” the Minister said in response to a question on expanding energy summits beyond major cities.
Puri also invited the public to attend India Energy Week, scheduled next month.
“We started three years ago, and today it is the largest energy show in the world. It integrates fossil fuels, emerging technologies, and startups in the energy sector,” added Puri.
He said a permanent exhibition facility is being developed in Goa on the land provided by Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), similar to Bharat Mandapam and YashoBhoomi in Delhi, to host global energy conferences.
