Karnataka election results updates | BJP claims narrow win in Jayanagar seat The Congress party registered a resounding victory over the Bharatiya Janata Party in Karnataka, winning at least 135 seats in the saffron party’s only bastion in southern India May 13, 2023 07:00 am | Updated May 14, 2023 03:46 am IST Congress supporters, celebrate outside a Karnataka Congress office, during the Karnataka Assembly elections 2023 results, in Bengaluru on May 13, 2023. | Photo Credit: K MURALI KUMAR The Congress party on May 13 clinched the State of Karnataka in a resounding victory over the incumbent Bharatiya Janata Party-led government.

The party plans to hold its Legislative Party meeting the next day to finalise on the Chief Ministerial candidate. The counting was held at 36 centres across the State, in which 2,615 candidates are in the fray. As per the Elect...

As votes were counted on Saturday, it became clear Congress had won an overwhelming majority in the state and the ruling Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) quickly conceded defeat. “People have rejected divisive politics,” said Pawan Khera, a Congress party spokesperson. Read more The BJP had been in power in Karnataka since 2018 and campaigned hard to hold on to the state, despite a strong anti-incumbency sentiment. Karnataka is the party’s only stronghold in southern In an attempt to win over voters, the party put Modi But despite a high-octane campaign during which the BJP held more than 9,000 rallies, Modi’s popularity was not enough to overcome allegations of corruption against the BJP state government, as well as frustrations over rising inflation and a lack of job creation outside the city’s thriving capital, Bengaluru. The state’s dominant Lingayat caste, once a strong part of the BJP’s base, had also been seen to withdraw support after several old-guard leaders were not given tickets to run. The result was a significant triumph for Congress, which has had an otherwise poor record of winning state elections since Modi came to power in 2014, with only three other states under its control.
