Hundreds of party workers from all taluks of the district, took part in the procession. CT Ravi said that the Dakshina Kannada district is experiencing a saffron surge, that will ensure a massive victory for the BJP. Slamming chief minister Siddaramaiah over his economic policies, Ravi alleged that they have led to soaring inflation, thereby burdening the people. “Women should realise that the Rs 2,000 they get every month was snatched from their husband’s pockets as tax by the state government,” Ravi said on the Gruha Lakshmi scheme of the government. MP Nalin Kumar Kateel said that Chowta would win with a huge margin of more than 4 lakh votes.
