<p>Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Tuesday, a day before the Karnataka polls, wrote an open letter to the people of the southern state of India thanking them for showering him with constant love and affection and further highlighting his party, BJP's, commitment to the growth and development of the state.</p>

<p>"You have always showered me with love and affection. It feels like a divine blessing to me. In our 'Azaadi ka Amrit Kaal', we Indians have aimed to make our beloved country a developed nation. Karnataka is keen to lead the movement to realise its vision", PM Modi said in his letter.</p>

<p>"India is the fifth-largest economy. Our next aim is to reach the top three. This is possible only when Karnataka rapidly grows to become a USD 1 trillion economy," the letter read.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Karnataka received over Rs 90,000 crore annually as foreign investment under the BJP government. It was just around Rs 30,000 crore under the previous government," the PM wrote.</p>

<p>"We want to make Karnataka number 1 in investment, industry and innovation and number 1 in education, employment and entrepreneurship," PM underlined his party's commitment.</p>

<p>"We are working to empower the farmers with a 'Beej Se Bazar Tak' vision. Through new irrigation projects, expansion of storage facilities, increasing ethanol blending usage of nano area and modern technology such as drones, BJP is committed to making Karnataka the number 1 in agriculture," it read.</p>
