"I am telling you today that we are going to get a minimum of 130 to 135 seats. After the elections we are going to meet again. Whatever I said previously also had come true. Even now I am telling you that we are going to cross 130 to 135 seats and we are going to form the government," the four-time Chief Minister said.
On why Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not spell out any achievements of the state government in any of his speeches, the state BJP strongman said the Centre released maximum grants to Karnataka and it's the reason for Karnataka's development.
"There was no need for him to repeat (mentioning) those works. The Prime Minister knows how Karnataka is treading on the development path," he added.
Karnataka votes on May 10. Counting of votes is on May 13.
