On Sunday, BJP Karnataka warned the state Congress of PM Modi’s upcoming speech dates in Udupi with a classic Game of Thrones meme. It showed Ned Stark, the Warden of the North with his sword Ice mouthing the motto of House Stark, “Winter is coming’.
The BJP Karnataka’s Twitter handle wrote: “PM Shri @narendramodi will be visiting Udupi on May 1st, 2018. He will be first visiting Udupi's Shri Krishna Mutt, and will later address a massive public rally in Udupi. #ModiIsComing”
This led Karnataka Congress social media in-charge Srivatsa to tweet: “And we all know what happened to Ned Stark.”
As many as 368 nominations were filed on April 21 for the May 12 Karnataka assembly polls.
Among those who filed the papers were former minister B Sriramulu, a close associate of mining baron G Janardhana Reddy.

Reddy was present when Sriramulu submitted the papers accompanied by Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and BJP's chief ministerial candidate B S Yeddyurappa.
BJP president Amit Shah had recently remarked that his party had no connection with the mining baron, but his confidants have got tickets including brothers G Karunakara and G Somashekhara Reddy.
The filing of nomination was a mighty show of" strength by Sriramulu and his party.
Travelling in a bus decorated like a chariot, Sriramulu acknowledged the cheers of his supporters as they thronged to take part in the rally amid beating of drums.

"Is BJP trying to entertain"the people of Karnataka or asking for votes?" " "
He also posted two pictures- one of BJP's" advertisement and another the news about BJP giving ticket to Reddy's brother Karunakara Reddy.
