A verbal duel of sorts broke out on Twitter between the BJP and the Congress ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rally in Bengaluru. Modi’s rally in the poll-bound state will mark the conclusion of BJP’s 90-day Parivarthan yatra and the beginning of its poll campaign in one of the few Congress-held states.

Taking to the stage in Bengaluru, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, said countdown of Congress to make an exit in the state has begun. “Congress is standing at the exit gate in Karnataka. It has caused destruction here and Karnataka doesn’t need a Congress culture,” said PM Modi. Lauding the work of his government at the Centre, PM said his motto is ‘reform, perform, transform’. Welcoming the PM, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah tweeted that Karnataka was the “No.1 state in investments, innovation and progressive policies”. Hitting back, BJP state unit chief BS Yeddyurappa said the state had become ‘No.1 in corruption’ under the Congress. Ahead of the PM rally, pro-Kannada groups also staged a protest, demanding the Centre’s intervention in Karnataka’s Mahadayi river dispute with BJP-ruled Goa.
