With just two days to go for the crucial Karnataka Assembly elections, Congress President Rahul Gandhi held a press conference with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in Bengaluru, urging people to use cultural and linguistic diversity.

While addressing the media in Bengaluru, Rahul Gandhi said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was going to lose the 2019 elections and the rest of the elections scheduled this year. “Whatever comes out of PM's mouth is what is actually in his heart. He is absolutely convinced now, and he is right, that he is going to lose Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and he is going to lose 2019”, attacked Rahul Gandhi

Every single person in India should be able to express themselves. All my friends in Karnataka should take pride in the language they speak. They should take pride in the food they eat and they should take pride in the things they do.

Rahul also took to twitter to attack PM Modi for not holding any press conference in four years. He also posted a number of pictures of his media interaction in poll-bound Karnataka on Twitter.

Enjoyed meeting the regional and national press today in Bengaluru. We had a packed house! I’m sorry not everyone got a chance to ask a question due to the paucity of time. But, unlike our PM who hasn’t had a press conference in 4 years, I will be doing many more of these!

Meanwhile, on the last day of campaigning in Karnataka, confident of winning the elections, BJP President Amit Shah has claimed that the Siddaramaiah govt is the most corrupt in the country.
