The Congress today said its campaign in Karnataka had started on a fabulous note as it took a swipe at BJP president Amit Shah who described his party's former government led by B S Yeddyurappa as "number one" in corruption while seeking to accuse the incumbent Congress regime in the state of graft.

Gandhi also poked fun at the BJP over a tweet from a member of the party's IT cell which mentioned the polling date in Karnataka before the Election Commission had announced it.

"Now that the BJP IT cell has announced Karnataka elections, time for a sneak preview of our top secret campaign video," Gandhi said.

He tweeted, "Gifted to us by the BJP president, our campaign in Karnataka is off to a fabulous start. He says Yeddyurappa ran the most corrupt Government ever... True."
Addressing the media earlier today, Shah had remarked, "A Supreme Court retired judge has said that if a comparison is made on corruption, then the Yeddyurappa government would get the number one award."
