The campaign for the Karnataka Assembly elections is in full swing, with leaders from all major political parties engaged in a flurry of accusations and counter-accusations at their meetings. The BJP is putting in a strong effort to retain power, with star campaigners, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, heating up the political atmosphere at campaign rallies. Meanwhile, the Congress party is also making a strong bid for power.

The ongoing election campaign in Karnataka has brought special attention to Belagavi, with leaders from Maharashtra also participating in an attempt to win over Marathi voters. Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis faced opposition from the Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti, who showed him black flags during an election rally in Belagavi.
