The Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah has said that every vote given to Janata Dal (Secular) in Karnataka will be for Congress and every vote given to BJP will be for the development of a new Karnataka and a new India.

Speaking at the 50th-year celebration of Central Arecanut and Cocoa Marketing and Processing (Campco) Ltd at Puttur in Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka on Saturday, he asked the gathering if they want to vote for the JD(S) and Congress, who follow Tipu Sultan, or BJP, which follows Rani Abbakka. (Rani Abbakka was the first queen of coastal Karnataka who fought the Portuguese in 16th century)

He urged the people gathered at the event to decide whether they want a Government that is nationalist or the ‘corrupt Congress,’ which has become an ‘ATM’ for the Gandhi family.

Congress, which believes in the politics of appeasement and strengthens the anti-India elements, won’t do good for Karnataka, he said.
