During the release of the manifesto for Karnataka Election 2023, Nadda said the BJP's manifesto is different from Congress's. It will fulfil the aspirations of youth, farmers and women of the state. 

"Our manifesto is different from The Congress' manifesto which talks about guarantees, which has got an outdated warranty. Our manifesto contains a realistic, achievable promise which will fulfil the aspirations of Karnataka's youth, farmers, women, labours, middle class, SC/ST and all sections of the society. Our manifesto is centred around 6 themes," Nadda said.

The polling on 224 Legislative Assembly constituencies will be held on May 10 and the result will be declared on May 13.
