“We are looking for transformation of the state for the sake of its women, youth, dalits, and tribals. Do the people want the BJP, which is committed to development or the Congress which is collecting commission?” he asked, addressing the “Navashakthi” convention of BJP workers of 656 booths of Chamaraja Narasimharaja and Krishnaraja constituencies at the Maharaja’s College grounds.
