Addressing a "Vijay Sankalp Samavesh" in Karnataka's Bellary, the Home Minister said, "BJP is fighting for a complete majority in Karnataka. The people of Karnataka are resolved to make lotus bloom again. On one side it's Modi Ji's BJP and on other side, it's Rahul Baba's tukde tukde gang Congress."
According to BJP Yuva Morcha leader Anil Shetty, the launch of 'Modi Chai' is part of the election campaign in the BTM layout constituency which is one of the 224 constituencies in the State Legislative Assembly.
Though the two parties had announced a pre-poll alliance for 2019 after they came together to form the government in Karnataka, reports state that there is disagreement between seat sharing.
