Congress Rajya Sabha member Digvijaya Singh on Sunday (May 14) said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) should be taught the Karnataka lesson in Madhya Pradesh where the Assembly polls are due by the year-end.
In the May 10 elections to the 224-member Karnataka Assembly, the Congress put up an impressive show by winning 135 seats, while incumbent BJP and the former prime minister H.D. Deve Gowda-led Janata Dal (Secular) secured 66 and 19, respectively.
“Through you all, I request the people of our country that the time for a change has come. Ponder over it. The firmness with which the BJP has been defeated in Karnataka, it should be taught a lesson in the same way. They (BJP) are nursing a big ego,” Mr. Singh said.
