Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Friday mockingly wrote a review of Bharatiya Janata Party’s manifesto for Karnataka polls and gave it only one star, while recommending people to ignore it.
In his tweet Rahul Gandhi said, ” New Book Review!. The BJP Karnataka Manifesto, inspired by Narendra Modi, is a poorly crafted fantasy built around a weak plot, that has nothing unique to offer voters.
“If you’ve read the Congress Manifesto, don’t waste your time on this one. Rating: 1/5 ⭐ Recommendation: Avoid, added Rahul Gandhi in his tweet.

Earlier in the day, senior Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala termed Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) manifesto as ‘zero’ and said that it is a “Jumlafesto – a handbook of unabashed lies”.
Congress spokesperson Surjewala in a tweet said, “BJP’s Karnataka manifesto is a classic case of 0+0=0 (Copy of 2014 ModiFesto + 2018 Yeddy-Reddy Festo = 0).”
Surjewala further slammed the manifesto saying, “Taking a cue from Modiji, It’s a Jumlafesto- a handbook of unabashed lies”.
He said that there is no gravity in BJP’s promises, nor belief in their words. BJP is losing ground. #BJPVachana4Karnataka. (Translated from Hindi).
