Moreover, Balakrishna criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 2019 election campaign, referencing the Pulwama attack. He claimed that if the Pulwama attack hadn't occurred, the outcome of the elections might have been different, attributing the attack to the BJP-led government and emphasizing the sacrifices of soldiers as contributing to Modi's ascendancy.

He further suggested that the JDS party in Karnataka needed to transform similarly to the BSP's trajectory in Uttar Pradesh; otherwise, its existence might be at risk.
