Ahead of the announcement of the Karnataka Assembly election results, Janata Dal (United) national president Rajiv Ranjan alias Lalan Singh predicted that BJP “will lose the election by a big margin”. He further said that in the days to come, BJP would also lose the Assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
“In Karnataka, the BJP used all possible means and campaigned fiercely. Everyone had seen the exit polls but the information I have says the BJP will lose Karnataka by a big margin, more than what has been predicted by exit polls. Slowly and gradually BJP is losing everything, the castle of BJP is being demolished now. Wait for 2024 Lok Sabha election. BJP will also perform badly in the upcoming Assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. I have been to Madhya Pradesh and spoken to the people there and based on my experience, I believe BJP will lose there as well,” Mr. Singh said at the party office on Friday.
Exit polls have largely predicted Congress to emerge as the single largest party in the 224-member Karnataka Assembly, though there is a likelihood of a hung House.
