Fractured mandate will hurt progress, claims PM Modi poll-bound Karnataka

Calling the people of Karnataka to give a clear majority to BJP in the 2023 state assembly polls, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday told them that a fractured mandate would not help the progress of the state.

Addressing a large gathering at the concluding ceremony of BJP’s Vijaya Sankalpa Yatra at GMIT grounds on the outskirts of Davangere, Modi while referring to the Congress-JDS coalition government of 2018 before the BJP came to power in 2019, asked the party workers and the people of Karnataka to look back at what happened earlier due to a fractured mandate.

PM Modi took a dig at the 2018 Congress- JD(S) coalition government which did not support the Kissan Samman Yojana during their regime and said they lacked the subsequent development and take-off provided by the double engine BJP government from 2019 onwards when BJP was able to take the reins of the Karnataka government.

He urged the party workers to work hard for the next three months and reach out to the nook and corner of their neighbourhood to ensure that BJP forms a government with a majority. “If you people want me to serve in every village, town and city of this state, then you have to install a strong BJP government in Karnataka,” he said.
