Shobha prays at Devaramane temple

BJP candidate and incumbent MP Shobha Karandlaje visited Kalabhairaweshwara Temple at Devaramane in Mudigere taluk and offered 'Nandadeepa Seve' and 'Bilvapatra Archane'.

She said that she offered prayers for the formation of Modi-led government in the country. Even during the 2014 election, she had started her campaign after offering special prayers to Kalabhairaweshwara.

After offering prayers, she said, "The coalition partners are levelling allegations against me. Those who are raising doubts on lack of utilisation of funds for the development works in the district should know which village has been adopted under Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana and should check allocation of funds for development works in the constituency."

"I will win the election from Udupi-Chikmagalur constituency. Modi government will come back to power in the country," she added.
