On Monday, the public campaign for the upcoming assembly elections in Bengaluru came to an end. The two main rivals, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress, engaged in a fiercely contested battle for the votes of the people, with both parties vying for a chance to form the government in the state.
Throughout the campaign, the two parties focused on two main narratives. The BJP campaigned on the promise of a “double-engine” government, highlighting the developmental work in Karnataka that has been accomplished with the support of both the central and state governments. They also emphasized their commitment to job creation and vowed to eliminate corruption.
Meanwhile, the Congress focused on an anti-corruption platform, accusing the BJP of being involved in several corruption cases and scams during their tenure. They also criticized the BJP government for their failures in job creation and agriculture, and highlighted the rising fuel prices and inflation as key issues affecting the common people.
The campaign was marked by a bitter and often acrimonious tug-of-war between the two parties, with both sides attempting to win over voters. The election outcome remains to be seen, but the battle for Bengaluru has certainly been intense.
