I urge the young of Bengaluru to join the nomination rally from Maiyas in Jayanagar to the RO Office near Ashoka Pillar and spread more awareness about the 10 Years of Seva by Modi Government.

Speaking to reporters, Ashoka said: “People of the country want a stable Government and an able leader like PM Modi Ji to come again. They do not trust a party that planned a rally in the form of 'Namma Neeru Namma Hakku' and then say nothing about its alliance partner in Government in Tamil Nadu, the DMK, opposing the Mekedatu Project.”
