Amit Shah sounds the poll bugle in Vokkaliga heartland

Mysuru: Four months ahead of the assembly polls, Union home minister Amit Shah on Friday sounded the poll bugle in the Vokkaliga heartland of Mandya and said it is time to end dynastic politics in Karnataka and give the state a corruption-free government.
He promised the voters that his party would put the district on the path of development if people offered full support in the elections.
Addressing a Jana Sankalpa Yatra at the government college grounds in Mandya, about 100km from Bengaluru, Shah said both Congress and JD(S) have not come out of the clutches of dynastic politics. “When people voted them in, both parties didn’t take up any development work. Karnataka became Delhi’s ATM when Congress was in power; when JD(S) held the reins, it was one family’s ATM,” he said.
“If people of Mysuru and Mandya strengthen our hands, then BJP will, in the next five years, take development in the region to a whole new level,” he said in a 40-minute speech.
