Last minute announcements/schemes won’t work” said Mr Javadekar at a press meet adding that people are angry and unhappy with the current regime.

We believe in people’s participation,” added Mr Javadekar. The BJP’s 79- day ‘Parivartan Yatra’ will conclude in Bengaluru on January 20.Karnataka will go for polls next year for 224 Assembly Constituencies. (UNI)
