Rajnath Singh accused Congress for political violence in Karnataka

Mangaluru (Karnataka), April 24: Accusing the ruling Congress in Karnataka of following the Kerala "model" in fuelling political violence, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday vowed to end the menace if the BJP came to power after the May 12 state assembly elections.

"It appears the Congress government in Karnataka is following the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government in Kerala in allegedly killing political workers of rival parties. We will put an end to it when we come to power," said Singh at a campaign for the party's candidates in the state's coastal region.

The opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is contesting from all the 224 assembly segments across the state in a bid to return to power after it lost to the Congress in the May 2013 elections following a split in it.
