“The Congress is attacking the faith of the people. The party is planning to ban Bajrang Dal in Karnataka. The Congress is talking in favour of the PFI. The Bajrang Dal is an organisation that is in favour of the nation. Our country is powerful under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The BJP government is on a development mission in the state. But the Congress and JD(S) are preventing it.
"People should bring the BJP to power in the state and elect Asha Thimmappa Gowda,” he appealed to the voters.
Later, Yogi Adityanath, held a massive road show at Karkala and campaigned for BJP candidate V Sunil Kumar.
Addressing the party activists, he said that he has come to the land of Parashurama. “I have come from the land of Ayodhya Rama to the land of Parashurama. Lord Rama had received the company of Hanuman at the time of his forest stay. Hanuman had helped to destroy the Lanka of Ravana. Similarly, you the patriotic people should do away with the iniquity of the Congress and JD(S). You should defeat those who supported the PFI. Bring the double engine government to power again. India has emerged as a huge global power. Karnataka has contributed as the IT hub of the country. Karnataka has hugely contributed to the development of India.”
“Modi has become the captain for team India. There should always be Karnataka in the Modi team. The spark of nationalism should reach every house. You should make Sunil Kumar your candidate win. Rama Mandira will be completed at Ayodhya in January. The contribution of the Kar Sevaks from Karnataka is immense in its construction. I have come to invite you during its construction,” he said.
Thousands of activists took part in the roadshow from Karkala Ananthashayana circle till Gandhi Maidan.
