AICC President Rahul Gandhi on Monday challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to disclose how many days BJP's chief ministerial candidate B S Yeddyurappa was in jail and how much money he looted.

He was campaigning for the Congress candidate K Y Nanjegowda at Malur.

"Is Modi's stand of fielding corrupt leaders and campaigning for them justified?" he questioned.

"Those who were jailed on the charge of corruption sit next to Prime Minister. Modi has no moral right to speak about corruption," he charged.

"Modi is keeping mum though prices of LPG gas and petroleum products are skyrocketing. He has not waived off farm loan, but has helped industrialists like Nirav Modi," he charged.

"He has privatised government schools in Gujarat. He has failed to keep up his promise. He doesn't act though his cabinet colleague speaks of changing the Constitution. He has failed to curb atrocities against Dalits," Rahul Gandhi charged.

General Secretary of AICC in charge of Karnataka K C Venugopal, MP K H Muniyappa and Minister K R Ramesh Kumar were present.

MLA candidates in the district took part in Rahul Gandhi's roadshow taken out by him. He got onto a bullock cart and held models of LGP gas cylinders as a mark of protest.
