See what happened when Rajdeep tried to praise Siddaramaiah’s work in Karnataka

North Karnataka is the faultline in the Karnataka elections for the BJP and the Congress. It may well become the make-or-break factor for the two opposing parties, who have been wooing the Lingayat community there which makes up more than half the seats in the election.

Is a separate religion tag for the Lingayat community the need of the hour or is it just another election empty promise? Is caste-based politics an issue in Karnataka? India Today’s Rajdeep Sardesai interviewed the residents of Hubli-Dharwad to find out in Elections on my Plate.

See what happened when Rajdeep tried to praise Siddaramaiah’s work in Karnataka…😂

Fever pitch campaigning in Karnataka for assembly elections to be held on Saturday (May 12) came to an end on Thursday evening at 5 pm. The campaigning by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Congress and the Janata Dal (Secular) was electric in content and delivery, ranging from mud-slinging of rival opponents to religion. The run-up to the elections saw top ministers and leaders from every party, attempting to woo voters across the state with their signature campaigning styles. Till the very last minute, the BJP consistently sought to expose the Congress for allegedly resorting to foul means to win the elections.

For the BJP, party president Amit Shah and the party’s chief ministerial candidate B S Yeddyurappa campaigned in the state today, while Congress chief Gandhi and incumbent Chief Minister Siddaramaiah campaigned for their party on the final day.
