New Delhi, Feb 19: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday sounded the poll bugle in Karnataka inaugurating a series of railway projects in Mysuru. PM Modi commissioned the 140-km fully-electrified Bengaluru-Mysuru rail tracks and flagged off the Humsafar Express train from Mysuru to Udaipur in Rajasthan.

Speaking at a public gathering later, PM Modi targeted CM Siddaramaiah-led Congress government and said that the ruling party only cares for power and not aspirations of the people of the state.

Accusing the Siddaramaiah government of massive corruption, PM Modi urged voters of Karnataka to pick the BJP in the upcoming Assembly polls for all round development of the state. “What do you need? A government of commission or a government of mission? A government which asks for 10% commission to work or a government which works with the mission for development?” PM Modi asked.
