Bengaluru: Days in the wake of adulating former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda that set off hypothesis of an alliance of the BJP and the Janata Dal-Secular in Karnataka, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said the JD(S) would distant third in the Assembly elections and asked why individuals should waste votes on that party. 

Tending to a gathering, the Prime Minister likewise hit out at the Congress, blaming it for spreading lies about a hung Assembly. 

“The JD(S) can’t shape its own particular government and it can’t expel the Congress from control. For what reason should any sensible voter vote in favor of it?” he inquired. 

Modi said the JD(S) had completed a crime by holding hands extremists and communal forces and by doing so it has tried to play with the eventual fate of Karnataka. 

At a BJP rally in Udupi on Tuesday, the Prime Minister had showered adulate on Deve Gowda, the JD(S) patriarch and a powerful Vokkaliga pioneer. 

“I heard that the Congress President censured the regarded Deve Gowdaji at a election rally 15-20 days prior. Is that your way of life?” Modi stated, apparently coordinating the inquiry at Rahul Gandhi. 

“Such arrogance. You are beginning your political life and Deve Gowdaji is one of the best leaders of our nation,” Modi said. 

That set off theory that the BJP and JD(S) could come together post-poll in case of a hung verdict, which many poll surveys had predicted.

Assaulting the Congress, Modi stated: “Be it 2104 Lok Sabha surveys or some other elections to the state congregations, at whatever point Congress is sure of its defeat, it starts spreading rumours like nobody is going to get majority or there will be a hung Assembly. They start spreading a lie. They begin spreading a lie. At the point when the Congress begins spreading such lies, it implies the BJP is winning,” he said. 

He said that all the political pundits or survey agencies were of the clear opinion that the JD(S) will finish at a distant number three. Modi said the excitement of individuals in Karnataka towards the BJP was a reasonable sign that they would depose the Congress. 

“The general population of Karnataka have no confidence in Congress government, its Chief Minister and other leaders,” he said.
