PM Modi’s Open Letter To People Ahead Of Karnataka Polls

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sent an open letter to the people of Karnataka ahead of the state’s legislative elections.

On May 10, Karnataka will vote with the incumbent BJP hoping to overcome the state’s 38-year-old anti-incumbency trend and win a second consecutive term.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s letter reads, “You have always showered me with love and affection. It feels like a divine blessing to me. In our ‘Azaadi ka Amrit Kaal’, we Indians have aimed to make our beloved country a developed nation. Karnataka is keen to lead the movement to realize its vision”.

The open letter further reads, “India is the fifth-largest economy. Our next aim is to reach the top three. This is possible only when Karnataka rapidly grows to become a $1 trillion economy”.

As part of the BJP’s active campaigning in the state to counter a challenge prepared by the Congress, led by heavyweights DK Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah, and the JD(S) fronted by HD Kumaraswamy, PM Modi hosted a 26-km roadshow in Bengaluru on Saturday.

The PM emphasized in his letter his party’s commitment to Karnataka and its people.

“We want to make Karnataka No.1 in investment, industry, and innovation and No.1 in education, employment, and entrepreneurship”, the letter reads.

“During the COVID-19 pandemic, Karnataka received over Rs 90,000 crore annually as a foreign investment under the BJP government. It was just around Rs 30,000 crore under the previous government”, the letter added.

“The BJP government will continue to work to create next-gen urban infrastructure in Karnataka, modernize transport, raise the quality of life in rural and urban areas, and create opportunities for women and youth”, the PM wrote in his letter.

The PM said, “The dream of every citizen of Karnataka is my dream”.

In a separate video message, PM Modi asked Karnataka residents to vote on election day in order to make the state ‘No. 1’.

9.17 lakh of the 5.2 crore eligible voters in Karnataka will vote for the first time.

The BJP has fielded 224 candidates, the Congress 223 candidates and the JD(S) has 207 candidates. Voting for the 224-seat Karnataka Assembly is scheduled on May 10 and the ballots will be counted on May 13.
