Everything is with Delhi government. Mighty government but there is no safety in Delhi. If they are unable to govern Delhi, can Congress govern Karnataka.

Congress always comes with a new mask, do not trust it.

7.30 pm: Modi: I want to ask who is the Congress candidate for chief minister of Karnataka. Show us the face, not the hand. Congress has no CM candidate, I have known Jagdish ji for years.

We came to Power in Gujarat in 1995, we din't have experience in handling differences. But still people voted for us for good governance. Voters have given us power for the last 12 years in Gujarat and the voters in Karnataka will also do what voters did in Gujarat.
