Rahul Gandhi travels in metro in Bangalore, clicks selfie

Slamming Modi and RSS, he said we will try to get the country out of the mess created by Prime Minister and its alma meter organisation.

"In fact, I challenge him to stand with three parties united", he added. The BJP's decline will start from Karnataka followed by Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh and Rajasthan. Though some of his recent interactions-like the 'NCC' controversy in Mysuru when he took questions from students-may have given BJP some ammunition to target him, but Rahul Gandhi has shown the courage to confront opposition and move on.

Hailing the CM for taking such a strong step towards the betterment of sanitation workers, Gandhi said, "Now, when we get the government in Delhi, we will learn from the Karnataka government because the person doing the most hard work should be rewarded the most".

"When there was a drought in Karnataka, PM Modi gave the least amount of money to the state because it has a Congress government", he said. "You can't run this country as an individual, you have to run this country by listening to it, by working with it. and now after four years, he (Modi) has suddenly lost it, because now the wheels are running on them".

Ms Banerjee's template for the opposition unity, inspired by the Akhilesh Yadav-Mayawati team's stunning victory in the Uttar Pradesh by-elections, was that major opposition parties should put up only one candidate against the BJP in seats.

Alleging that the entire focus of the the country is on GDP, and not job creation, Gandhi said, for this to happen, there has to be a shift in the mindset just as it was done before the Green and Telecom revolutions.

The Gandhi scion was in Karnataka on Sunday for the Jana Aashirwada Yatre.

He also accused the Narendra Modi government of discriminating against the Congress-ruled Karnataka.

Incidentally, Shah said at a press meet what he meant with his remark in Mumbai was political parties having no ideological similarities were coming together out of fear of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The visit also saw Gandhi go to temples and other religious places and interact with Hindu seers, besides holding roadshows and mingling with crowds. "We have to accept that and understand that. of course, there were a lot of lies, a lot of false allegations, a lot of venom spread by the BJP and the RSS".
