Taking a jibe at PM Modi, Karnataka CM HD Kumaraswamy today questioned if the BJP became rich by selling tea across the country. Hitting out at the BJP over its manifesto while addressing media in Hubli, Mr Kumaraswamy said, "What corruption free? Did Modi sell tea around the country and make the party rich? This claim of corruption free government of his is fake."

Taking a swipe at opposition grand-alliance for not naming the Prime Ministerial candidate, BJP chief Amit Shah wondered how they expected to run the country without a leader if they came to power and said the nation would be safe from terror attacks only if Narendra Modi was once again installed in the post. Amit Shah was in Davangere to campaign for BJP candidate.

Lashing out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issue of corruption, Congress President Rahul Gandhi alleged that "100 per cent chowkidar (guard) is a chor (thief)." "I have a question. Why all the thieves have Modi in their names whether be it Nirav Modi, Lalit Modi and Narendra Modi? We don't know how many more such Modis will come out," Mr Gandhi said.
