Speaking to reporters in Chitradurga, on Wednesday he had said, striking 'terrorists camps' in Pakistan had created a wave in favour of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and would help the party win over 22 of the 28 seats in the Karnataka state in the coming Lok Sabha polls. "Yesterday we entered Pakistan territory and destroyed three alleged camps of terrorists. This has brought a pro-Modi wave all through the country. The effect of this will be seen in the Lok Sabha elections," Yeddyurappa had said.
Meanwhile, 21 political parties urged PM Modi not to politicize Indian Army. Senior leaders of Indian opposition parties who met in parliament on Wednesday sharply criticised the "leaders of the ruling party" for the, blatant politicization of the sacrifices made by the Armed forces."
