PM Modi opens Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway in poll bound Karnataka, launches fresh attack on Congress

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday accused the Congress and other opposition parties of being busy digging his grave, while he was striving for the development of the country and the welfare of the poor, as he also declared that blessings of the people was his biggest protection shield.

On his sixth visit this year to Karnataka, where Assembly elections are due by May, he also asserted that the 'double engine' government is a necessity for the fast-paced development of the state.

"Amid the efforts of the double engine government for the development of the country and the progress of its people, what is Congress and its associates doing? ...Congress is dreaming about digging the kabr (grave) of Modi," said the PM, who inaugurated the 118 Km long Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway project here in Mandya district.
