Hubballi, Jan 29 (UNI) Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Sunday said the one-day visit of Union Home Minister Amit Shah has electrified Karnataka and added there has been a pro-BJP wave across the state.
"The BJP has been quite strong in Kittur Karnataka and Shah has instilled more strength and enthusiasm among workers. The feelings of the people were reflected in all the meetings," he told reporters here.
"Not only the big turnout, but also the spirit and enthusiasm in them clearly indicates the saffron party coming back to power," he added.
Bommai said Shah did not give any specific instructions to the state leaders in the Belagavi meeting, but told them to make preparations for the Assembly polls.
On the Congress leaders' verbal attacks on him, CM said he has never made allegations against anybody in the last one-and-a-half years and has not made any harsh statements on anyone and has replied politely.
The political culture of Karnataka is not based on individual or vengeance, but based on issues pertaining to development, CM Bommai stated.
"We are going before the people with the achievements of the state and union governments, which is seen in our campaigns. We are seeking votes on the basis of our performance. The Congress has become desperate, due to which they are using such language," he said.
Ruling out dissatisfaction in the BJP, Bommai said, "There is no dissatisfaction in our party. We will abide by what our party leaders say. This is what has happened. There is no dissatisfaction in the Belagavi party unit."
He said the list of candidates is not finalized as the survey work is still going on.
On "Go Back Ashok" graffiti in Mandya, Bommai termed it as an act of three or four people and the media need not sensationalise it.
