As a part of the by-poll elections campaign in Karnataka, Congress President Rahul Gandhi is in the state, visiting temples and dargahs.
Rahul Gandhi on Saturday began his election campaign in poll-bound Karnataka with a piece of advice for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He advised the PM to learn how to run the government from Karnataka’s chief minister Siddaramaiah.
Gandhi who began his speech by wishing people in Kannada, quickly settled down to criticise Modi for dwelling on the past, instead of fulfilling the promises made and saying anything about the future of the country.
He urged Modi to stop looking in the rear mirror while at the steering wheel. “If he drives in that manner, the vehicle goes into the gutter. If you want a better India, look forward,” he said.

Lauding the Siddaramaiah-led government for its social welfare policies and commitment to serve all sections of society, Gandhi told the huge gathering in the state’s northern region that Karnataka’s riches belonged to its women, youth, farmers, and laborers and not to the affluent few.
Patting the back of the Karnataka’s CM, Gandhi added that Siddaramaiah is a man firmly focused on the future. “We are proud to say that CM Siddaramaiah’s government was a clean administration,” Gandhi said and urged the people of Karnataka to vote for Congress again.
“When we come to power next, we will work twice as hard. And the development will be a combined effort of the people, not just an individual,” Gandhi said.
Gandhi is on a maiden four-day visit to the southern state after becoming the party president in December and touring in its northern region since Saturday on a “Jan Ashirwad Yatra” for the people’s blessings ahead of the assembly poll in the state, due in late April or early May.
