Political News : Karnataka Assembly election 2018 has seen vigorous campaigning by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress President Rahul Gandhi crossing swords over a plethora of issues, including corruption. While Modi said the Karnataka government was a “gold medalist” in corruption and that Congress leaders were “drunk on power”, Gandhi hit right back accusing the BJP of corruption in Rafale fighter jet deal and protecting fugitive diamantaire Nirav Modi. The prime minister will on Friday interact with the office-bearers and workers of the BJP’s Karnataka women’s wing through the NaMo App.Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was also in the poll-bound state, where he took a swipe at the Siddaramaiah government, accusing it of carrying out divisive and corrupt politics. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah hit back on Twitter, flaying Adityanath for being in his state for electioneering when 64 people had lost their lives due to a dust storm in Uttar Pradesh.Further, after the BJP complained to the Election Commission (EC) over what it alleged was the Congress’ attempt at playing the “communal card” in the poll-bound state to woo Muslim voters, the Congress on Thursday complained to the EC against the BJP’s Karnataka unit for “getting published false and misleading advertisements” in newspapers to malign the public image of Rahul Gandhi and Siddaramaiah.Voting in the Karnataka Assembly polls will be held on May 12, 2018, in all 224 constituencies of the state Legislative Assembly. The counting of votes and announcement of results will take place on May 15, 2018.
