According to sources Prime Minister Narendra Modi said his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will make sure Karnataka is "Congress-free" after the upcoming elections and the countdown for the Congress to be dispelled from the state has begun. Modi said "We will make sure Karnataka is Congress-free".
Meanwhile the Prime Minister was on a day long visit to the city to address the event that marks the culmination of the party's 90 day rally across the districts of Karnataka and the BJP will take Karnataka to new heights on the path of development. Further praising the government's budget which was announced on February 1, the PM mentioned how the Rs 17,000 crore allotted for the suburban railway in Bengaluru will help the people.
Moreover in an attempt to please the people at the rally, the PM Modi also
chose to not speak about the contentious Mahadayi issue. Farmers and
pro-Kannada organizations had planned a city-wide bandh on Sunday in order to
protest the PM's silence over the issue. But the protesters had to be content
with demonstrations at Freedom Park after the Karnataka High Court stayed the
bandh on Friday.
