Hectic electioneering by leaders of various political parties saw BJP allowing Union Ministers and Chief Ministers to campaign with their full force while Congress putting its chief ministers including Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra as star campaigners.The counting of votes in the Karnataka assembly polls will be held on May 13. The majority mark to form the government is 113 seats.With the war of words between top guns of all the major political parties, the election campaigns in the southern citadel saw allegations and accusations flying thick and fast.Several issues of the state were promised to be solved. The issue of Bajrang Dal, which was mentioned in the Congress mfesto, took centre stage in the political campaigning.The Congress party released its mfesto for the May 10 elections said it will take "decisive action" as per law including banning orgsations like Bajrang Dal, the Popular Front of India and others.The Congress mfesto said the party is committed to taking firm and decisive action against individuals and orgsations spreading hatred among communities on grounds of caste and religion.Prime Minister Narendra Modi hit out at the Opposition over the issue, saying, "The Congress has become a slave of appeasement and vote-bank politics."Addressing an election rally in Tumakuru, Prime Minister Modi said, "Congress has now started objecting to saying Jai Bajrangbali. Congress has become a slave to appeasement and vote-bank politics. Congress can never work for the welfare of Congress. It can never develop Karnataka."Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
