Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said, “I thank the people of Karnataka for giving a huge mandate to Congress. We will uphold their belief in us. We will implement all the welfare schemes we have announced in our manifesto. I thank Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and Sonia Gandhi who campaigned even when she wasn’t well.”
Chief Minister of Karnataka Basavaraj Bommai admitted the defeat and said, “Despite a lot of efforts put in by the Prime Minister and the BJP workers, we have not been able to make the mark…Once the full results come, we will do a detailed analysis.”
