"We are fulfilling our promises and guarantees. it is not just about guarantees. Our party has a good image in Karnataka. BJP has low credibility amongst people."

Karnataka Minister Ramalinga Reddy further slammed the BJP and emphasised that the people in Karnataka lost trust in the BJP.

"Bhartiya Janta party leaders don't know how to address the people. They are only showing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's photos. He came to Karnataka only for 28 days, Home Minister Amit Shah visited Karnataka for 20 days for state elections. People haven't voted for the BJP because they have lost trust in them. People voted for the Congress party. BJP leaders visit Karnataka only ahead of elections, otherwise, they forget about the people of Karnataka."
