Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Sunday said that while the BJP was seeking votes in the Karnataka Assembly polls in the name of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Congress had adopted the PM's "vocal for local" slogan and was raising issues of the people of the state. In an interview with PTI, Ramesh said Karnataka, after four years of the BJP rule, needs 'Vitamin-P' in which the P stands for "performance" of the Congress and not "polarisation" of the BJP.

Even in the Parliament, Congress and JD(S) are together on every issue. So each vote given to JD(S) will go to the account of Congress and voting for Congress means putting brakes on the development of the state: Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Belur. 

Congress president Kharge ji commented on PM Modi. This shows that Congress is losing in Karnataka. An insult to the Prime Minister is an insult to the nation. They insult India. They insult the 140 crore people of India. We should not accept anyone who insults India: UP CM Yogi Adityanath in Kalaburagi

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday said the Congress must have “gathered some knowledge” about EVMs, as it has been predicting victory for the grand old party in the Karnataka Assembly polls. The southern state will go to polls on May 10 and counting of votes will be undertaken on May 13, with the Congress seeking to oust the incumbent BJP government. “Earlier, they (Congress) used to accuse us of problems with EVMs... So, if they can predict the result in advance, then I have to say that the party in Karnataka must have gathered some knowledge about EVMs,” Sarma told reporters here. The Congress has sounded confident of emerging victorious in Karnataka. Senior Congress leader and former minister M B Patil told PTI that it will come to power on its own with 130-odd seats out of 224 in the southern state. The BJP has announced candidates in 212 constituencies, the Congress 165, while the JD(S) has named 93 nominees.

Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday said if her party is voted to power in the Karnataka Assembly election, the honorarium of workers at major Anganwadis will be increased to Rs 15,000 per month, and for those in mini Anganwadis, it will be hiked to Rs 10,000. The party will also increase the honorarium of the Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) workers to Rs 8,000 per month, and Rs 5,000 per month for women working for the mid-day meal programme, she said.

Congress is the second name of betrayal. They have betrayed the farmers of the state and the country. JDS calls itself the 'kingmaker' in Karnataka and every vote to JDS adds to the vote of Congress.

This election of Karnataka is not just to make MLA, Minister or Chief Minister for the coming 5 years, this election is to strengthen the foundation of the roadmap of a developed India in the coming 25 years: PM Narendra Modi at Channapatana in Ramanagara District, Karnataka

Our government is working to advance the villages, poor, deprived, afflicted, exploited, Dalits, women, and farmers… If we are talking about economic development, then we have also given importance to social justice from a social point of view. If we increase the reservation of SC brothers by 2%, then we increase the reservation of tribal brothers by 4%: BJP chief at Honnali in Davangere district, Karnataka

Congress has once again brought out its "bundle of false guarantees", says PM at an election rally in poll-bound Karnataka.

Today's gathering will make Congress and JDS lose sleep. Both parties are the biggest hindrance in the process of development. The public has clean-bowled them. We have to save the people of Karnataka from the corrupt govt of Congress and JDS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Kolar district, Karnataka. 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will shortly address a public meeting in Kolar district of Karnataka.

Congress leaders say that those who avail reservation benefits are beggars, but are SC, ST, OBC, and Lingayats beggars? asked Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai adding that people will teach a lesson to the Congress Party. Speaking at a roadshow in support of the BJP candidate M.S.Somalingappa in Siraguppa on Saturday, he said Somalingappa has developed the constituency fast and he too wished to develop his constituency as done in Siraguppa. Among the development works are a college and Kanaka Bhavana.

All these happened due to the BJP Government. As many as 54 lakh farmers have benefited from the Kisan Samman scheme thanks to the double-engine government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Around 1.5 crore people have got the Ayushman card; 13 lakh houses have been constructed and 40 lakh houses have got drinking water connections, he said.
