Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Manikanta Rathod on Saturday termed the allegations made by the Congress as "false" after the grand old party alleged that a plot is being hatched to murder their party chief Mallikarjun Kharge and his entire family.
Congress on Saturday alleged that a "sinister and "ugly plot" is being "hatched" by the Bharatiya Janata Party to "kill" its party President Mallikarjun Kharge and his family.
"BJP leaders are now hatching a plot to murder Mallikarjun Kharge and his family members. This is now clear from the recording of BJP's candidate from Chittapur who also happens to be the blue-eyed boy of PM Modi and chief minister Bommai," Congress leader Randeep Surjewala said.
Speaking to ANI, Union Minister Joshi said, "Earlier, Priyanka Gandhi and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge also came to Karnataka. No matter who comes to the state for the election campaign, BJP will return to power in the state with a full majority."
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday held the Manipur's Bharatiya Janata Party government responsible for the violence in the state alleging that such a situation arose because of the party's "politics of hate, and division".

"Rajasthan assembly elections are slated to be held later this year. Karnataka Assembly elections are around the corner. So the congress party is resorting to such tactics," he added.
"The Congress party is committed to taking firm and decisive action against individuals and organisations spreading hatred against communities on the grounds of caste and religion," read the Congress Manifesto released
