of vote bank politics. That is why they have a skewed vision,” he said.

There is a Sainik school named after Sangolli Rayanna in Belagavi. The number of women in Central police forces has doubled,” he said.

“Can you trust the Congress to protect your daughters after what happened in Hubballi? The whole country is worried,” he asked.
