Bhartiya Janta Party President Amit Shah has come down heavily on Congress after Election Commission had earlier seized voter ids cards and counterfoils from an apartment in RajRajeshwari Nagar constituency. In a series of tweets, he accused Congress of employing undemocratic and corrupt ways in the ongoing Karnataka Assembly elections.
Shah accuses Congress of using illegal means for gaining power in the State stating that their corrupt and oppressive government will be rejected by the people.
Congress has read the writing on the wall. They know their reign of corruption and oppression is ending in Karnataka. That is why they are turning to unethical and anti-democratic ways to succeed. However, their attempts will be thwarted and the power of the people will win.

He puts his faith in the people of the state and calls on the democratic people of the state, as well as the whole country, to rise up to the occasion and defeat the dangerous intents of the Congress of subverting the democratic electoral process. He expresses confidence that the vigilant public will make sure that freedom and democracy are protected at all costs.
I appeal to all democracy loving Indians to rise to the occasion and speak up against this fraudulent, anti-democratic means adopted by the Congress just for the sake of power. Our vigilance will ensure our future generations breathe the air of freedom and democracy.

He goes on to express faith in the Election Commission and hopes that the latter will ensure free and fair polling in the state and the country by thwarting such attempts so that the will of the people can’t be at the mercy of the “machinations” of the Congress party.
It is in the best interest of our democratic traditions that the EC ensures free and fair polling in Rajarajeshwarinagar and other parts of the state. The hopes and aspirations of the people of Karnataka cant be held hostage to the machinations of the Congress.

He then goes on to shame Congress party for putting up a fake face in front of people, faces of being pro-poor, pro-development or being a harbinger of social justice.
Congress Party should be ashamed of themselves! Everything about their party is fake- their tears for the poor, their claims of development, their commitment to social justice.
Now the Congress is using fake voter IDs to create fictitious voters and rig the 2018 Karnataka polls.

With less than 3 days before Karnataka goes to polls, the battleground Karnataka is heating up.
