'We will form govt in Karnataka with full majority'

I believe that Bharatiya Janata Party is going to form the government with a 'comfortable' margin. Siddaramaiah is ruling the state for five years, and I don't think he deserves another term. First, 3,500 farmers have committed suicide so far, and that number is growing. On the contrary, in Maharashtra, where our government has been in power for the last three and half years, there is a 42 per cent decrease in farmer suicides.

Second, the law and order situation in Bengaluru city is in a deplorable state. I don't think the people of Karnataka will take these issues lightly.

Twenty-four BJP workers have been killed in the state, and yet there is no proper investigation in these cases. The Congress is receiving the support of SDPI covertly. But, there is no need for the 'hide and seek' game. The ruling government has not satisfied the people of Karnataka in even a single parameter. Whether in terms of development, or in the implementation of central schemes. The BJP government at the centre has provided Rs. 3,50,000 crore to the state development fund. It further sanctioned Rs. 2,19,000 crore and Rs. 80,000 crore for other projects like Bengaluru metro, road, railways etc.

The people of Karnataka will decide. They will vote for a BJP government this time.

JD (S) works in a limited area, so I think it won't be much of a factor.

Our minister Anant Kumar asked him for proof. Kumar also asked him to leave his both the constituencies, if he can't prove his allegation. Therefore, now he has stopped speaking about that.

'Corruption' is a major issue that we have raised in this elections against the ruling government. But, can you prove corruption charges against the two Reddy brothers, who are our election candidates? Has even a single FIR been registered? Sriramlu has become part of our party long back. Not a single charge has been proved against him.

There is no report on infighting. There may be 15 claimants for a single constituency, but only one can get the ticket. Now, we all are together and united.

Do you expect Congress to praise our manifesto? But, show me a single real number in their manifesto. That is 'tokenism'. We have come out with concrete numbers and set clear targets that will be fulfilled. Few existing schemes have been evaluated after identifying loop-holes. BJP does not believe in replacing good projects. This is not our politics.

See, the matter is sub-judice. So I don't like to comment on that. There is a set mechanism to address such issues. Wherever we have a government; we resolved such matters properly. In Madhya Pradesh, the Narmada issue got resolved. There was another issue on water distribution of the river Tapi between Maharastra and Gujarat. It too got resolved without any fuss.

Every election has its own importance in Indian democracy, and Karnataka is a large state. It is important to us because this win would be the 'gateway' to the southern part of India.

There should be an Act on simultaneous elections. The law commission is yet to make their report public. Once that happens, there can be a discussion on the issue.

It is their concern and their decision. We will fight under any circumstances.

For Mizoram, I cannot say anything. BJP, however, has improved its position there. But still, it is a new state for us. But we are going to retain the other three states.
