The Congress party on Thursday trolled Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after another gaffe by the saffron party on Twitter over the construction of toilets in Karnataka.

With less than a month left for the state assembly elections, a war of words continues, with both the parties taking jibes at each other.

In a fresh gaffe, BJP on Twitter said, "In 4 years of UPA, only 20 lakh household toilets were built with Rs 350 crore, whereas in 4 years of NDA 34 lakh toilets were built with Rs 2,100 crore."

However, the Twitter users were quick to point out the mistake, while the Congress supporters left no opportunity to hit-out at BJP.

The Congress party, from the official handle, Tweeted, "Cost of construction per toilet: under UPA: Rs. 1750;  under NDA: Rs. 6177 #ChhotaModi + #BadaModi = #SwachhBharat."

The BJP was quick to respond to Congress saying, "Dear @INCIndia, do not stoop lower than your President’s IQ. Central govt gave Karnataka govt Rs. 2100 crores for toilet construction. If you say not enough toilets were built, ask Mr. SiddhaRupaiya!."

On Wednesday, BJP launched a fresh attack on Chief Minister Siddaramaiah after he termed Prime Minister Narendra Modi a North Indian import for coming to campaign in Karnataka. 

The BJP has declared its state unit chief B S Yeddyurappa and JDS H D Kumaraswamy as their chief ministerial faces. Both have been the state's chief minister.The Karnataka Assembly election will be held on May 12 and the counting of votes will be done on May 15.

A survey conducted by the Times Now-VMR has indicated a "photo-finish" in the Karnataka Assembly elections, with the BJP and the Congress neck-and-neck. The Janata Dal (Secular) supremo HD Deve Gowda said that his party would not form a coalition government with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) under any circumstances.
