Campaign

The Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Karnataka campaign kicked off in March 2024, a month before going to polls. It was announced that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would visit Gulbarga, the constituency represented by Indian National Congress (INC) President Mallikarjun Kharge twice in the past. ^[7] It was earlier reported that he would participate in four rallies between 15 and 19 March, starting in Kolar. ^[8] He addressed a gathering in Kalaburagi (formerly Gulbarga) on 16 March to kick off the campaign. Modi alleged widespread corruption in Karnataka and stated: "Bad governance, disorder and anarchy start spreading in all directions when the entire capital of the entire State is being used for filling the belly, pockets and treasury of a few people. Congress had promised free electricity, but people got power cut and darkness. Farmers are asking how their pump sets in the field would operate when there is no power supply." ^[9] Former Chief Minister of Karnataka and BJP leader B. S. Yediyurappa predicted that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) would win all 28 seats from the State. ^[10] Former Prime Minister and leader of the Janata Dal (Secular), which is a part of the NDA, H. D. Deve Gowda, also participated in the campaigns. ^[11]

The INC, in March 2024, constituted a three-member campaign committee for Karnataka, which included Vinay Kumar Sorake, L. Hanumanthaiah and Rizwan Arshad. ^[12] The incumbent Chief Minister of Karnataka, Siddaramaiah, of the INC, campaigned focusing on the constituencies of Mysore–Kodagu and Chamarajanagar for his party. He predicted that his party would win up to 20 seats and directed criticism at the BJP over "hike in price of petrol, diesel and domestic gas." ^[13] Former INC President Rahul Gandhi addressed a gathering in Mandya and stated that the elections was a "a fight between two ideologies." He criticized the BJP over the Electoral Bond issue, terming it a form of "extortion". ^[14] On the day of phase two polls, he addressed two public meetings in the northern Karnataka that was to go for polls on 7 May, and termed the BJP as "Bharatiya Chombu Party"; Chombu in Kannada meant a round water pot, to convey emptiness and deception. He accused the party of not giving Karnataka its drought relief amounting to ₹18,000 crore, and the ₹60,000 crore mandated by the Finance Commission, and gave "chombu" instead. ^[15]
