Cong trying to find excuses for impending defeat in KTK polls:

Asserting that the people of Karnataka have decided to uproot the Congress and punish it for its wrongdoings, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today the party is already trying to find excuses like faulty EVMs for the "impending" defeat in the Assembly polls.

With barely two days left for the campaign to end, Modi ratcheted up the attack on the Siddaramaiah government over alleged corruption and said there is not even a single minister who is not facing accusations of graft.

Addressing back-to-back rallies in Vijayapura and Koppala in north Karnataka and in Bengaluru, Modi brought the Congress in the line of fire over its "dynasty politics" and attempts to divide the society.

In his rally in the country's IT capital, Modi said the Congress government had not left any stone unturned to defame Bengaluru across the world.

"I still cannot understand what anger Karnataka Chief Minister has against Bengaluru, that he has turned his face away from Bengaluru."
"They are one, one family is everything, nothing beyond that, Second- corrupt government, third- crime and atrocities, fourth- farmer distress and fifth-divide the country, society and castes."
Modi said during his election campaign over the last 7-8 days he visited different parts of Karnataka and gathered the impression that "people of Karnataka have not only decided to remove the Congress party from power, but they have also decided to punish them for five years."
In the Koppala rally, Modi said his government's "mantra is sab ka saat, sab ka vikas (together with all, development for all)," but on the other side there is such a party that "its mantra is one family is their constitution, one family is their government."
"If they run a government, it is for the family and if they bring down a government, it is also for the family."
"For the sake of power they can go to any level. Divide the country, sects, castes, divide families and create rift between brothers and save their seats. This is their game."
