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.

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.

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

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.

Edappadi Palaniswami has backtracked his decision and announced that the party's lone candidate in Karnataka would pull out from the contest, which would make ADMK come out of the race in Karnataka.

As the leaders from both the camps file their nominations to contest in the Karnataka assembly polls, they took the electorate aback through their growing wealth. 

The announcement has come days after the party has decided to refrain from fielding its candidates in Karnataka and to support BJP in the state. 

Karnataka Congress chief DK Shivakumar is well-known to be one of the political big shots in the state and now, his asset value makes him one of the richest politicians.
