POLITICIANS WHO SPEWED VITRIOL

The Congress is dreaming of digging Modi’s grave. They are busy digging Modi’s grave, whereas Modi is busy constructing the Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway. They are busy digging Modi’s grave. Modi is busy working for the welfare of the poor.

Modi is like a poisonous snake. If you say, ‘No, it’s not poisonous’, let’s lick it and find out. Don’t go to lick it. If you lick, you die.

- Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge | Rally at Ron, Gadag district | April 27 we were told we would be given money and food after roadshow.

I don’t know how much we will be paid, but we will get money in the end.”

Deve Gowda’s roadshow was in support of his party’s Yelahanka candidate, M. Munegowda.

Recently, when UP Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath participated in the roadshow in Mandya, The Observer broke the story that most of the crowd in the public meeting were paid.

BJP workers had brought people from nearby villages in buses and tempos promising each to pay Rs.300 to Rs.400 each person. Most of the crowd were women, mainly elderly women, and children. The majority of the paid workers didn’t know who Yogi Adityanath was. Big parties are bringing in high-profile leaders to campaign in Karnataka as the date for the final battle nears. hamsaveni.n@iijnm.org

Now Congress President Kharge calls Prime Minister Modi ‘poisonous snake’. What started with Sonia Gandhi’s ‘maut ka saudagar’, and we know how it ended, the Congress continues to plummet to new depths. The desperation shows Congress is losing ground in Karnataka and knows it.
