Byndoor, May 5: “Narendra Modi becoming the prime minister for the third time is as true as the existence of Sun and Moon. BJP will win more than 400 seats in the country and 28 out of 28 seats in Karnataka state,” said former Karnataka chief minister BS Yediyurappa. He was speaking after setting in motion the mass road show in favour of BJP candidate B Y Raghavendra at Byndoor on Thursday, May 3.
“I have been traveling the length and breadth of the state. There is a Modi wave everywhere. BY Raghavendra will win with a margin of more than three lac votes from Shivamogga constituency. There will be a lead of more than one lac from Byndoor alone,” he said.
"The development works by Prime Minister Modi will help in the victory of BJP candidates. Everybody wants Modi, who is liked by the world to be the prime minister of India again. Therefore, Raghavendra will definitely win with a huge margin,” he said.
Tamil Nadu BJP state president Annamalai said that Raghavendra will win with a huge margin from Shivamogga. "Congress people have called Rahul Gandhi to Shivamogga due to disappointment. Everybody knows what happened during the event. It shows how disorganized Congress is. Voters are with BJP. Amit Shah has already clarified the Prajwal Revanna incident,” he said.
“We are giving priority to the temple corridor. There are corridors at Kashi, Varanasi, Ujjaini and Ayodhya already. Similarly, we have said that there will be Tiruvannamalai corridor at Tamil Nadu. The time for Mookambika corridor in Karnataka is due. Prime Minister Modi will arrive here and obtain the Dashan of the Devi. Mookambika corridor is completed at Kollur. We have a clear blue print of it. We are confident of a lead of one lac votes in Byndoor. Byndoor and Kollur will receive international recognition after the Mookambika corridor,” he said.
BJP candidate BY Raghavendra said that they have considered the election seriously and have conducted campaigns effectively. "There is confidence that we will secure a lead of more than one lac votes in Byndoor. People will vote for BJP here due to patriotism and self-respect,” he said.
The road show under the leadership of former chief minister BS Yediyurappa and Annamalai started from Byndoor and proceeded towards Oppanda. MLA Gururaja Gantihole, Bhagirathi Murulya, BJP district president Kishore Kumar, Vidhan Parishat opposition leader Kota Srinivas Poojary, actress Tara, Brijesh Chowta, Deepak Kumar Shetty and others were present. Party workers and leaders joined in large numbers in the bike rally.
