Congress, which ruled the country for about 60 years, has “failed on all fronts”, Modi, who began a day-long whirlwind tour of Karnataka, said addressing a rally in Bijapur.

Congress and its alliance partners were engaged in vote bank politics, Modi alleged and cautioned “it is dangerous for the country”.

Campaigning for BJP candidate Ramesh Jigajinagi in Bijapur, which has become a reserved constituency after delimitation, he said that during the UPA regime, unemployment was on the rise.
