Here, our karyakarta Prashant Poojary was hacked to death by fundamentalists. We dedicate our victory to his memory. #BJPWinsKarnataka
We win massively in Bantawal, where young RSS worker Sharat Madiwal was brutally killed by Islamic fanatics. Congress Minister Ramanath Rai had given tacit support to these anti social elements.
