New Delhi: As the Karnataka Legislative Assembly election is drawing near, the political activity in the Congress ruled state has gained momentum.  The Karnataka Legislative Assembly election will be held in April-May 2018 to elect members of the 224 constituencies in Karnataka. Meanwhile, Dalit leader Jignesh Mevani on Tuesday informed that he will be in the state in April for two weeks to tell Dalits not to vote for BJP. "In April, I'll be in K'taka for 2 weeks, will tell 20% Dalits in the state that not even their 20 votes should go to them (BJP).
