"Karnataka should witness a change in government, the public is also ready. I am also appealing to you to give Congress a greater margin of victory as the trend of stealing MLAs is prevalent," Kharge is heard saying in a video posted by the party.
He further says that the incumbent Karnataka government is formed by after the turncoats joined the party. "This has happened in many states before. If we have a big majority, MLAs won't have the power to destabilise the government by threatening to leave," he added.
