You (voters) be alert. “This shows a deep conspiracy to derail the free and fair election”, Union HRD Minister and party’s in-charge for Karnataka polls Prakash Javadekar told the media. “They are planning excuses including blaming EVMs”, he said. He said Congress spreads corruption, dynasty culture and communalism whenever it comes to power.

Not to be left behind, the BJP too attacked the Congress on the issue.

“Manjula is a Congressperson now”. “I am contesting from Badami, which was ruled by Pulakeshin II”, the Congress strongman said adding he “never meant to make political gains by raising the issues of Kannada pride, a separate flag and minority status for the Lingayats”.
