Yediyurappa campaigns in Davangere for BJP nominee in Council polls

B.S. Yediyurappa campaigned in Davangere on behalf of the BJP-Janata Dal(S) alliance candidate K.M. Suresh for the Legislative Council South-East Graduates Constituency. The ex-Chief Minister declared the Congress government's failures in drought management, law enforcement, employment creation, and overall development. He asserted that K.M.

Suresh would win the elections by a large margin. Yediyurappa criticized the Congress for unfulfilled promises and asserted that the public's anger would be evident in the electoral outcome, particularly against the party's anti-people and anti-farmer actions. He called on voters to punish the Congress for corruption and its misuse of funds, which left KSRTC buses without diesel.

However, he acknowledged that the Congress blamed the Union government to mask its own shortcomings. Party MP Govind Karjol criticized the Congress for misusing constitutional bodies like the Election Commission and judiciary, using Dalits and minorities as vote-banks. He urged voters to support BJP candidates to bolster Yediyurappa's and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's positions.
