Karnataka elections: Priyank Kharge takes swipe at Yogi over UP governance, BJP hits back

Karnataka minister Priyanak Kharge took a swipe at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday.

Taking to twitter Priyank Kharge wrote: Tell me honestly Karnataka, "is there a single thing that Karnataka can learn from UP CM on governance".

He further said that the CM will be in the state "to spew the venom of hatred."

The Karnata BJP gave a befitting reply saying "Yogi Model of governance is certainly better than Kharge's".

Yogi Model of governance is certainly better than Kharge's, where after nearly 40 yrs in power, HDI of Gulburga remains lower than countries like Niger, Sierra Leone but assets of Kharge touch Rs. 50,000 crores! At least, Kharge Jr can learn from Yogi's Gurukul. Admissions Open!

"Not to forget other achievements of Kharge low female literacy rate, low sanitation cover, low sex ratio, high drop outs from schools, high infant & child mortality rate, lack of road connectivity to villages and so on!," it wrote.

and added "BJP will tranform Karnataka, like Yogi is transforming UP!"

Meanwhile, Congress president Rahul Gandhi will release the party's manifesto for the upcoming Karnataka Assembly polls.

The elections to the 224-member Karnataka Assembly will be held on May 12. The counting of votes will take place on May 15.

Ahead of the elections, both the parties are leaving no stone unturned to attack each other and polarise the people of Karnataka as much as possible.
