Shimoga. 18.3.2024. “People here in Karnataka should give me a guarantee. We will win 28 constituencies in the Lok Sabha elections. Win the NDA candidates with a majority.” Right after the announcement of the Lok Sabha election date, Prime Minister Narendra Modi once again sounded the trumpets in Karnataka’s Shimoga to stir up the election fever. Modi, who had campaigned for the BJP in Kalabarugi, the main center of Kalyan Karnataka, two days ago, today created a sensation in the BJP by canvassing for the candidates of the four districts of central Karnataka in Shimoga, the gateway to the hills.
Modi took a dig at the Congress and said that Congress is looting Karnataka under the pretext of guarantee. The money from here goes to Delhi. The leaders there have made Karunad an ATM. Don’t allow this. It is 100% sure that we will come to power for the third time at the centre. Don't rely on guarantees and return to Congress. Voters should make a resolve to root out the ATM government in Karnataka. This time he requested to write a record of winning 28 constituencies.
