Congress spokesperson Aiyshwarya Mahadev said even if the speech given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi today had been an election speech, it won't do the BJP any good as far as the upcoming Karnataka assembly election is concerned as the state government, which according to her, has been mired in corruption scandals. She said the BJP is using patently illegal means to get MPs disqualified and attacking democracy with the manner in which they have been treating other parliamentarians.
