Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Saturday that the Karnataka Assembly election result was not surprising.
However, the Bharatiya Janata Party won in most of the constituencies he visited during the campaigning, he told journalists.
“It was certain from the discussions over the last two-three months that the BJP would not be able to put up a good performance,” he said, adding that the election results in States such as Karnataka and Rajasthan show a similar trend.
