BJP president Amit Shah said BJP was certain to form the next government in Karnataka because the Siddaramaiah administration had “failed” on all fronts. Shah also hit out at the Sidaramaiah government, accusing it of following “’three Ds—Dhokha (cheating), Dadagiri (goondaism) and dynastic politics”. His reply came when he was asked about Gandhi’s remarks against Modi in the multi-crore PNB fraud case. “If anyone wants to see the governance of the Congress, then go to the constituency of Kharge sahab,” Shah said. The dynastic politics jibe was apparently a reference to Congress leader in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge from Kalaburagi, whose son Priyank Kharge is a state minister.
