On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Karnataka and spoke at an event that became his prospect to invoke The Kerala Story as his weapon to attack the Congress party. 

On Sunday, Shiva Rajkumar campaigned for Congress candidate and his brother-in-law Madhu Bangarappa in Anavatti, Shivamogga district where he took part in a roadshow.

The issue is connected to Annamalai's recent saga of exposing the assets and investments of the top DMK leaders in the name of 'DMK Files'. 

As the scheme is gaining traction, the Congress leader vowed that it will be implemented as soon as the party comes to power in Karnataka.

As the campaigns between both the parties are getting intensified, the war of words is scorching and Kharge's remarks have exhibited that trend.

Annamalai has released two audios so far and though the source of these tapes remains unclear, they have become BJP's new weapon to spearhead a campaign against the ruling DMK. 

The state has 224 constituencies and the opinion polls have predicted that the Congress party will triumph the elections with a clear majority.

Several leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman have grey ticks for their accounts.

Veteran BJP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka, K S Eshwarappa on Monday said that the BJP doesn't need Muslim votes in Shivamogga in the upcoming Karnataka assembly polls.

The DMK government had strongly defended it and claimed that the overhaul was done after receiving several representations from industries and associations to bring out working hour reforms.
