In poll-bound Karnataka, Mallikarjun Kharge halts speech during azaan | Watch

Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, while addressing an election rally in Kalaburagi district, stopped his speech during the call of Azaan.

Kharge was addressing a public rally when another Congress leader went on stage to alert the Congress chief about the Azaan. Kharge is then seen stopping his speech.

The leader of the Congress party criticised the BJP government in Karnataka, stating that despite their promise of a strong government, they have had multiple changes in chief ministers. He called the upcoming election a crucial one for both Karnataka and the nation.

"It is an important 'do or die' election for Karnataka. The 40 per cent commission state government is damned. It has cheated our people," Kharge said.

Modi ji often says in his speeches that 'na mein khaunga, na khane dunga!' (I won't take bribes, I will not let others take bribes). But Bommai sits next to him. The PM should ask him for a 40 per cent commission, Kharge taunted.
