The high voltage campaign for the May 10 Assembly elections in Karnataka will come to an end today (Monday) as all three major political parties in the state — BJP, Congress and JD(S) — are all out to woo voters by making their last pitch.

As part of the campaign  for the elections to the 224-member Assembly, “Government with full majority” seemed to be the favourite slogan of the leaders of all the political parties, as they stressed on getting a clear mandate to form a strong and stable government in the state.

While BJP’s campaign largely centralised with the focus being on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, national issues and programmes or achievements of the union government coupled with a few from the state, the Congress’s by and large focused on local issues and was also run by its local leaders initially.

PM Modi participated in 18 mega public meetings and six roadshows so far, as part of the campaigns and visited the state seven times since January, to unveil several government schemes and projects, and addressed numerous meetings of beneficiaries of the government’s various schemes.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah too has extensively travelled the state, campaigning and strategising for the polls.

The JD(S) led by former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda was seen putting all its strength into campaigning, wanting to emerge as “king” and not “kingmaker”, hoping to get the required numbers to form a government on its own.

Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday urged “nationalistic people” to unite and make the supporters of the banned outfit Popular Front of India (PFI) bite the dust in the forthcoming elections in Karnataka.

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will also be campaigning in Karnataka with Rahul Gandhi joining her for a joint public meeting in Shivaji Nagar, today on the last day of campaign.
