Bengaluru: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday came down heavily on the Congress government in Karnataka over lack of development, political murders and appeasement politics. The PM appealed to the voters to vote for BJP under BS Yeddyurappa to usher the state in a new era of development. PM Modi said this while addressing a mega rally at the Palace Grounds in Bengaluru, which was attended by over one lakh people. Today's rally marked the end of BJP's 90-day old "Nava Karnataka Nirmana Parivartana Yatra", which aims at bringing the saffron party back in the southern state on the planks of development. 

Named "Nava Karnataka Nirmana Parivartana Yatra" (journey to build a new Karnataka), the rally across 224 assembly constituencies of the state was flagged off on November 2 by BJP president Amit Shah.
