Vijayanagar: BJP national president JP Nadda on Sunday signalled party workers to get ready for the Karnataka assembly elections scheduled to be held on May 2023. Highlighting that BJP was steadily pacing forward on its goal towards 'mission repeat' in Karnataka next year, Nadda said the party was 'transforming lives' of marginalized classes throughout the state. He also claimed that recent communal violence during Ram Navami and Hanuman Jayanti are a "conspiracy" to cause disintegration in the society, and accused the Congress of acting in the "most irresponsible" manner.
Attacking the Congress, the main opposition to the ruling BJP in Karnataka, he said the previous Siddaramaiah government had freed members of PFI, a Muslim organisation that many BJP leaders have accused of stoking extremism and violence. "Our government will take action against the culprits," Nadda said. He also alleged that the Congress in power lets off terrorists. "It is necessary to expose them," the BJP leader added.
Talking about the upcoming election in Karnataka, Nadda said, "The party is transforming the lives of rural residents, Dalit, poor, women, and those who are exploited. This executive meeting has provided enthusiasm to our party workers. We should deliver the government's achievements to the people. Activists are our heroes, workers are the power of our party. This government is doing good work under Bommai.". "We have the confidence of winning 150 seats in the next Karnataka assembly election," he added.
