Referring to the Congress party ruling the state of Karnataka, Amit Shah at a press conference today said, "This government, of all the governments so far, is the most corrupt government.

In the field of space, we established a record by launching 104 satellites in the space. We have taken up a project where government will offer Rs 10,000 crore to each university for world-class higher education: Amit Shah
PM Modi said that we are not here to rule the country but to bring about the change. When we formed govt in 2014, 60 crore people did not have a bank account, 15 crore people did not have LPG connection, 18,000 villages have no electricity, 11 crore families did not have toilet and only 10% people had healthcare services. Now, 3,000 villages out of 18,000 villages have been electrified. Every family has a bank account now. We carried out surgical strike, avenging the deaths of Indian jawans. This is only possible because of strong political will, Amit Shah said while addressing students at Vivekanada Institutions in Karnataka.
In 2013, four years ago, there was despair in the country and people were worried about the future of India: said Amit Shah in Karavali.

CM Siddaramaiah must answer where money meant for development of people of Karnataka has gone: Amit Shah in Karnataka's Sullia.
If Siddaramaiah thinks politics of appeasement will be successful, he's wrong. Appeasement & polarisation here reflects in example where son of MLA Haris thrashed a man but there was no FIR. Why? Not only bcoz he's Haris's son but bcoz it involves appeasement of groups: Amit Shah said in Sullia as reported by news agency ANI.
"This is an election not only related to the state but the interests of the entire nation. In this election a govt will come in Karnataka which will open doors to the South for us," said Amit Shah in Karnataka's Sullia as reported by ANI.
BJP is a party with different work culture. Other parties go for elections based on various ministers & their work.
