“Prime Minister Modi is doing a lot of work at the Centre. He will again become prime minister after the next election. But Congress has woken up in the state. The opposition parties are making a strategy and we should work harder. The party should be formed from the booth level itself. Only then can we teach a lesson to Congress. Hanegal and Sindhi [bypolls] Winning is not easy. Yediyurappa said, this is an “agnipariksha” (litmus test) for us.
“We can win the Lok Sabha elections in the name of Modi but the assembly elections can be won only on the basis of our actions,” he said.
