Karnataka: Oppn taunts BJP over PM's 'Bajrangbali' pitch, Cong says Lord Hanuman with party
New Delhi, May 13 (PTI) The Opposition on Saturday taunted the BJP over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Bajrangbali' pitch during the campaign for Karnataka Assembly polls, with several leaders saying that it seems "Lord Hanuman is with the Congress".
A major row had erupted during the campaign after the Congress, in its election manifesto, said it was committed to taking firm and decisive action against individuals and organisations spreading hatred amongst communities on grounds of caste or religion and cited the examples of the Popular Front of India (PFI) and Bajrang Dal.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi made this a big campaign issue, urging the people of Karnataka to say 'Jai Bajrangbali' when they cast their vote to "punish" the Congress for its "culture of abuse".
