The BJP reportedly brought out a 'chargesheet' against the ruling Congress government in Karnataka in three booklets, listing its alleged failures on law and order, agriculture and ignoring Bengaluru.

A three fold increase in crime in Karnataka, atrocities on Dalits, women and children, attacks on honest officials, killings of Hindutva activists, steep rise in farmers' suicides in the last three years, drug mafia ruling the roost in Bengaluru and poor infrastructure in the city were also mentioned as well.

Union Minister for Law and Information and Technology, Ravi Shankar Prasad said that the Karnataka government has nothing to show to the public when it seeks votes from them for the May 12 assembly elections.

He said, “Let me tell Siddaramaiah that you have not even four-five outstanding areas of achievements which you can convey (to the public), you go everywhere (portraying) a negative BJP and negative Yeddyurappa."

The Union Minister also said that the Congress was losing its base across India due to 'misgovernance.'
