Cong making desperate attempts to win, alleges Amit Shah

BJP president Amit Shah accused the Congress of making desperate attempts to win elections in an "undemocratic" way, but said such machinations would not work and his party would win 130 plus seats.
Shah referred to the alleged "bogus" voter ID card scandal, saying, "it tells us how desperately the Congress wants to win the election."
"The way bogus voter cards were made in a flat... The way counterfoils of forms for inclusion of voters were found, the way colour printers and computers were found there, it tells us how desperately the Congress wants to win the election," the BJP president said.
Shah said for the past six months, Congress had been making desperate attempt to win elections in an "undemocratic" way.
"People are behind BJP in a big way and such atempts will be rendered useless. Without any doubt, defeat of Congress is written large on the wall," he said.
Ruling out a hung assembly, Shah said there was no question of seeking support from any party to form government.
"There is no question of hung assembly....We are far ahead of the halfway mark.
As per the feedback I have gathered from my leaders and party workers, we are winning more than 130 seats and there is question of seeking support from anyone to form government," he told reporters here.
"I have traversed 50,000 km across Karnataka ... We have experienced people's ire against Siddaramaiah's government," he said.
Shah, who extensively campaigned in the state, was addressing a press meet on Thursday, after leading a massive road show in Badami constituency from where Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is contesting besides Chamundeshwari seat in Mysuru.
Replying to a query whether party scheduled tribes leader Sreeramulu would be made Deputy Chief Minister (in the event of party's victory), Shah said after the election results, it would discuss the issue with an "open mind."
Shah said unlike the last term, B S Yeddyurappa would remain chief minister for the entire term because the Narendra Modi government at the centre "will be rock solid behind him" to expedite the development works in the state.
"Yeddyurappa will remain Chief Minister for the entire five-year term unlike the previous one where the then government at the centre wanted to remove his government, but the present Modi government will be rock solid behind him."
"Therefore, the question does not arise to disrupt his government. Yeddyurappa will remain chief minister till the end of the term," he said.
Replying to a query, Shah said there is a big ideological difference between Congress and BJP, and his party would never sit with SDPI and PFI, but on the other hand, Congress would join hands with them to form government.
"The Congress is not bothered to take support of traitors," he said.
Social Democratic Party of India is a political wing of Islamic outfit, Popular Front of India.
On Congress President Rahul Gandhi's allegations that the Prime Minister had launched personal attacks, Shah said, "On an average, if you see, such attacks have been for 2 to 3 minutes, but it appeared to be too much because the media played it or the entire day to gain TRP."
"The state election result is very vital for BJP to make inroads into the southern states," he said.
On controversial Reddy brothers, Shah said "no BJP candidate is having case pertaining to illegal mining. Nor do we have any relations with Janardhana Reddy," he added.
Asked why tickets are not given to a Muslim to contest polls, Shah said the party does not do it on the basis of caste and religion, and the media should not do analysis on these parameters as it is bad for the country.
Shah said BJP workers have visited as many as 56,000 polling booths in the state and held 400 roadshows and rallies. More than 35 top leaders of the BJP campaigned, he added. PTI
