“The people of Karnataka are fed up and devastated, so they want the Congress party to come to the government. We will fulfil our promise of five guarantees in the first cabinet itself. The Congress party will win the election with a huge majority,” the Congress President said.
"I've been voting at that polling booth for the last 55 years. Seeing the enthusiasm of the people, I feel that my party will come to power and we will win with the majority. Poor people live there and my principle is to give my vote to the poor, that is why I and my wife go there every time to give our vote," he added.
