Karnataka: As BJP national president Amit Shah concludes his tour of Mysuru region, the party’s master strategist on Saturday clearly stated that a victory in Karnataka meant that it will be a stepping stone for the saffron party’s expansionist policy down south.
“By gaining a victory in Karnataka and forming a strong government here, it will definitely be a door which will be opened for BJP to enter southern part of the country,” he said.
Shah said the Karnataka elections, be it a win or a loss, will also have a bearing on the 2019 Parliamentary elections but exuded confidence that BJP is the only alternative for the state which has become a den of corruption under the Congress.
