Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), accusing them of deceitful campaigning tactics. Speaking to reporters and addressing a party campaign meeting in Mysuru, he confidently declared that the Congress party is poised to secure 18 to 20 seats in Karnataka, challenging the BJP's narrative of a sweeping victory.
Siddaramaiah, a prominent figure in Karnataka politics, lambasted the BJP's election strategy, asserting that the people of the country are no longer swayed by empty promises. He emphasized the need for voters to scrutinize both the words and actions of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that many of Modi's assertions have turned out to be falsehoods.

"The BJP's claims of winning beyond 200 seats in the Lok Sabha seem doubtful, as evident from our surveys. They are now attempting to inflate their projected wins, knowing that a lower seat count is inevitable," Siddaramaiah remarked, criticizing the BJP's tactics. Expressing confidence in the Congress party's prospects in Karnataka, Siddaramaiah debunked the BJP's alleged misinformation campaign. He highlighted the contrasting policies of the central government, denouncing their perceived lack of empathy towards the common populace.

"The BJP's anti-people policies have burdened the citizens with soaring fuel and gas prices, while unemployment continues to rise," Siddaramaiah stated, directly challenging Modi's promises of economic prosperity and job creation.
Drawing attention to Modi's famous "56-inch chest" assertion, Siddaramaiah remarked, "Having a large chest is meaningless without compassion for the poor." He claimed that his advocacy for the underprivileged has drawn ire from BJP members.
