JDS is contesting all 28 seats and not just 3 - HD Deve Gowda

Former PM HD Deve Gowda says "JDS is fighting on all 28 seats & not just 3 & we have to ensure victory of all 28 NDA candidates in Karnataka"

"I have promised Yediyurappa that I am ready to campaign anywhere for the BJP", said JDS chief Deve Gowda.

PM Modi said "NDA has the guidance of 2 senior leaders in Karnataka H D Deve Gowda and BS Yediyurappa"

Prime Minister Narendra Modi described his roadshow last night in Mangaluru as "memorable", and his public meeting in Mysuru, during which he shared the stage with former prime minister H D Deve Gowda, as "phenomenal".

In a separate post, he said the public meeting in Mysuru was "phenomenal" and the support for BJP and JD(S) across all parts of Karnataka "remarkable".

"People are fed up of the Congress and want our alliance to win. It was very special that our former PM and respected statesman H D Deve Gowda ji came for the rally and shared his thoughts," he said.

The Prime Minister on Sunday held a massive roadshow, during which thousands of people showered flower petals as his cavalcade passed through the stretch from Narayana Guru circle to Nava Bharat circle in Mangaluru city in Dakshina Kannada district, a BJP stronghold.

JD(S) patriarch Deve Gowda too in a post on X on Monday said the NDA rally in Mysuru addressed by Modi was a huge success.

"The NDA rally in Mysore y’day addressed by PM Narendra Modi was a huge success. I greatly enjoyed speaking alongside him. Am always grateful for his affection and generosity. We will work hard to deliver 28 seats from Karnataka and contribute to the 400 seat target," he said.
