PM Modi targets Congress in Karnataka, inaugurates Shivamogga airport
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday sought to take the fight with the Congress head-on in election-bound Karnataka, accusing the party of “insulting” its President Mallikarjun Khage, who hails from the state, even as he stressed on the BJP’s development agenda.
With about two months to go for polls in Karnataka, Modi used the occasion of a public meeting at Belagavi to hit out at the Congress as he targeted “dynastic parties”, comments which are also seen to be targeted at former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda’s JD(S), besides the Kharge-led party.
Earlier on Monday, Modi inaugurated the Shivamogga airport in another public meeting, where he heaped praise on Karnataka BJP strongman and four-time Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, who celebrated his 80th birthday today.
