New Delhi/IBNS: Indian PM Narendra Modi on Saturday wished the Congress party after it registered a victory in the Karnataka Assembly polls.
He said: “Congratulations to the Congress Party for their victory in the Karnataka Assembly polls. My best wishes to them in fulfilling people’s aspirations.”
“I thank all those who have supported us in the Karnataka elections. I appreciate the hardwork of BJP Karyakartas. We shall serve Karnataka with even more vigour in the times to come,” Modi tweeted.
The beleaguered Congress is all set to form the next government in Karnataka giving a jolt to the country’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) exactly a year ahead of the next Lok Sabha elections.
The results for the May 10 elections indicate the Congress is comfortably returning to power driving away a possibility of the grand old party tying up with the JDS to cobble up the numbers in case of a hung assembly.
As per the latest poll results trends, the Congress is leading in 138 seats, 25 more than the majority mark 113.
The BJP, which had failed to get the majority even in the 2018 elections, ended up winning only 62 seats, leaving 20 for the JDS and 4 for Others.
