    PM Modi to address 20 rallies in Karnataka ahead of elections

    Bengaluru (IANS) | Prime Minister Narendra Modi may address a total of 20 public meetings in a span of 30 days in Karnataka ahead of the May 10 assembly elections, a source said on Tuesday. The source said the Prime Minister’s visits before the announcement of the assembly election date helped the party gain momentum. His public rallies and roadshows attracted a large number of people and also helped the party, said a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) source.

    On April 9, on the occasion of completion of 50 years of Project Tiger, the Prime Minister will visit Karnataka for the seventh time. However, opposition Congress leaders have dubbed PM Modi a poll agent for his excessive visits to Karnataka. On this, a BJP source said that Modi’s visits have been successful in strengthening the BJP wave and defeating the anti-incumbency wave.

    However, the arrest of BJP MLA Madal Virupakshappa in a bribery case has jolted the party. For this reason, the venue of Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s rally was changed from Davangere district. Another source said the party wanted to launch a high-voltage campaign ahead of the polls to put the episode behind it.

    According to a party insider, PM Modi is expected to address 20 public meetings in a span of one month. BJP sources said the prime minister’s rallies would also focus on constituencies where the Congress and the Janata Dal-Secular are strong.
