Amit Shah Confident in Karnataka Elections

Bangalore, Apr 01: BJP Chief Amit Shah on Tuesday expressed confidence that the BJP will win Karnataka assembly elections handsomely and said that the party will not go for an alliance with JD(S) but contest independently in all the seats.Addressing a press conference in Davanagere, Shah said that "Congress President Rahul Gandhi talks about the unity of all religions, but what has the Karnataka CM done? He has divided by Hindus (by raking up the religious minority tag for Lingayats).""I am certain that the sincerity that PM Narendra Modi has for the betterment of farmers cannot be matched by others. Some of the farmer-friendly schemes launched by PM Modi have been crucial for ensuring a better future for farmers," he said. "There has been BJP govt in Gujarat, MP & Chhattisgarh for the last 15 yrs and farmer suicide numbers in these states have been very low. The suicide cases that have been registered were due to depression & farmers personal issues," he added.
