At an election rally here, he also lashed out at Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy of JDS for his reported remark that only those who can’t meet two square meals a day join the armed forces.

“....the chief minister says only those who are hungry go to armed forces; this family (Deve Gowda’s) should be thrown out from the public life,” Modi said.

He also told the crowd, “your vote will decide whether those saying Bharat Mata ki Jai will be honoured or those who chant ‘Tukde-Tukde’“.
