The
people of Karnataka are today voting in the second phase of the ongoing
Assembly elections. I have been campaigning in different parts of
the State for the past ten days and have reached the conclusion that
a pro-BJP wave is clearly visible in almost all parts of Karnataka.
-
The
People of Karnataka are craving for a credible and stable government.
Only the BJP has the eligibility and ability to meet their aspirations.
-
The
BJP has captured the people's attention with an extensive campaign
on various important national issues including terrorism, spiraling
prices of essential commodities, prevailing agrarian crisis in the
country and regional issues such as comprehensive development of the
State and the politics of betrayal as practiced by certain political
parties.
-
The
BJP has taken a decisive lead in the first phase of the Karnataka
Assembly elections and has emerged as the frontrunner among all political
parties in the fray. The gap between the BJP and pother parties is
going to widen even further in the second and third phase. I am confident
that the BJP will get absolute majority and form the Government on
its own strength.
-
We
are contesting these elections with a clear vision and a firm resolve.
Our vision is to transform Karnataka into a model state for good governance
and development. We have resolved to form the government in Karnataka
and serve the people selflessly.
-
If
we assess the BJP and its Chief Ministerial candidate Shri B S Yedurappa
on the parameters of credibility, stability, popularity and performance,
they have left their opponents far behind.
-
The
people in India feel that UPA Government has turned out be a faceless,
spineless and directionless Government.
-
The
UPA government has virtually failed on every front be it spiraling
prices of essential commodities, increasing inflation or the internal
security front.
-
The
recent spurt in terrorist activities indicates that the UPA Government
lacks the will-power to effectively counter the menace of terrorism.
-
I
demand the UPA Government should come up with a comprehensive and
integrated plan to deal with terrorism. I assure the Government that
in the national interest, the BJP will whole heartedly support any
such move that aims to conclusively crush the menace of terrorism.
-
On
the one hand inflation is scaling upwards and on the other hand the
popularity of the Congress government is sinking to new lows every
day.
-
The
people of Karnataka have a task on their hands. It is high time to
get rid of the anti-people parties like the Congress and opportunists
like the JDS and vote for a pro-development and pro-people party like
the BJP.
-
I
appeal to the people of Karnataka to cut across the caste and religious
lines and extend their support to the BJP as it is the only all inclusive
national party where every section of society including the religious
minorities has a definite role to play.
-
The
religious minorities should not be misguided by the false Congress
propaganda.
-
The
Congress has been using the minorities as an instrument in their pursuit
of vote bank for the past six decades. But its real face has been
exposed on many occasions.
-
The
BJP is a party which firmly believes in justice to all and appeasement
of none.
-
The
minorities have been witness to the BJP led NDA rule at the Centre
and they realized that the BJP is not against the minorities.
-
The
BJP will follow the policy of Sarva Dharma Sambhav in Karnataka as
well.
-
I
hope that the people of Karnataka would not squander this opportunity
presented to them. If they vote for the BJP they will ensure a peaceful
and prosperous Karnataka in future.
