Congress dragged Hanuman into Karnataka poll campaign: BJP chief JP Nadda

Two days prior to the Karnataka Assembly election, BJP chief JP Nadda said it was Congress that dragged "Lord Hanuman to the poll campaign" and "not the BJP". Referring to Congress's practice of appeasement, Nadda said that "divide and rule" was the "basic principle" of the Congress party. 

All 224 seats of the Karnataka Assembly will go to polls in a single phase on May 10. The results will be declared on May 13.
