He said the opposition's "irresponsible" conduct caused a loss of over Rs 333 crore of public money and the ruling NDA MPs' decision to forgo their salaries was a "call of conscience".

While observing fast, Modi will not disturb his daily official routine of meeting people and officials, and clearing files.

While Amit Shah will participate in a protest at West Bengal's Hubli, all other leaders, including PM Modi, will maintain their daily schedule during the fast.

The bickering ally, which has declared its intention of going alone in the next polls, made strong comments against the BJP, saying the party was “still living in the golden era of 2014” while “the picture of 2019 will be completely different.”

The Congress president said, "the fact of the matter is between Mr Amit Shah and Mr Modi, they are convinced, there are only two human beings in this country. That's all, that's the reality."

“Amit Shah is a Jain. He needs to clarify first whether he is AHINDU. Jain is a separate religion. How can he talk about me like that,” Siddaramaiah had said. 

Slamming Congress president Rahul Gandhi for seeking list of achievements of Modi government in last four years, Shah said that the country was seeking the list of achievements of his four generations.

BJPM Modi told BJP workers that for winning elections, they have to win 'polling booths'.

Amit Shah’s tweet comes a day after PM Modi accused the opposition parties of politicising the legacy of Dalit icon Dr BR Ambedkar. The prime minister went on to say that no government had honoured Ambedkar like his government did.

Shah said that that “no one can dare to change” the reservation policy “as set by B R Ambedkar in the Constitution”.

In a series of tweets, Shah reached out to the community, which has been protesting a Supreme Court order on a law on atrocities against it.

In its petition to the poll panel, the party said that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders -- including Shah, Yeddyurappa, Ananth Kumar and Pratap Simha -- visited the residence of a person killed around a year-and-a-half ago and.

"The Karnataka government is like an ATM for the Congress to indulge in corruption," said Shah, who was on a two-day tour of the old Mysuru region in the fourth leg of his campaign in the state.

Shah today began his tour of the old Mysuru region, covering the districts of Mysuru, Chamarajanagara, Mandya and Ramanagara, where BJP had not won even a single seat in the previous election.

"In a slip of tongue, I said that Yeddyurappa government is corrupt instead of Siddaramaiah's and the entire Congress party started to rejoice. I want to tell Rahul Gandhi, that I might have made a mistake but people of Karnataka will not," he said.

Shah had said, addressing the media, "A Supreme Court retired judge has said that if a comparison is made on corruption, then the Yeddyurappa government would get the number one award."

"I want to assure farmers of Karnataka that we will work for the interests of the farmers in the state," he said.

Shah's declaration comes amid continued ceasefire violations, several infiltration attempts by Pakistan into India to carry out subversive activities.

The TDP leader alleged that BJP had done graver injustice to Andhra Pradesh than the Congress, hitting back at Amit Shah's letter released earlier today.

"I want to give a target for 2019 polls. We want to win more than 21 seats out of 25 seats from Northeast," Shah said addressing a rally of BJP booth unit chiefs.
