Rahul Gandhi to sound poll bugle in Karnataka where he made Modi surname remark

NEW DELHI: Ever since the announcement of elections in Karnataka, all the parties have started preparing for the elections. The main contest in this election is believed to be between the Congress and the BJP.

In this election for BJP, where top leaders like PM Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP President JP Nadda are campaigning, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will lead the campaign for the Congress. The special thing is that Rahul Gandhi is going to start his campaign in Karnataka from the same place from where he made a statement about PM Modi in 2019.

The BJP came to power in Karnataka in July 2019 after the fall of the JD(S)-Congress coalition government formed after the 2018 assembly elections in Karnataka. The BJP formed the government with the support of several rebel MLAs of the JD(S)-Congress alliance. Later, the rebel MLAs joined the BJP and contested and won the by-elections. The BJP has 121 MLAs in the current assembly.
