Congress is standing on the exit door: PM Modi

Bengaluru, Feb 04: Taking to the stage in Bengaluru, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, said countdown of Congress to make an exit in the state has begun.

"Congress is standing at the exit gate in Karnataka. It has caused destruction here and Karnataka doesn't need a Congress culture," said PM Modi.

Reiterating the BJP catchphrase of a "Congress-free India", PM Modi said: "The Congress is standing on the exit door and Karnataka will soon be free from Congress culture."
