Congress party’s stunning win at the Karnataka assembly polls 2023 is a shot in the arm for the party. It could not have come at an opportune time . In a one to one contest between BJP and Congress it is the Congress who had the last laugh. This time for the second time. Earlier this year the Congress won in Himachal Pradesh ousting the BJP.
The super Congress showing saw reactions from Several Congress leaders who tweeted about the performance.

कर्नाटक का संदेश ये है कि भाजपा की नकारात्मक, सांप्रदायिक, भ्रष्टाचारी, अमीरोन्मुखी, महिला-युवा विरोधी, सामाजिक-बँटवारे, झूठे प्रचारवाली, व्यक्तिवादी राजनीति का ‘अंतकाल’ शुरू हो गया है।

Hats off to the people of Karnataka, kept the interests of the state above everything else. No hate, no religion, no caste, no controversy, no made up outrage could distract them from how they envision the development and social harmony of the state.

Even Bajrang Bali has given a thumbs down to Modi ji’s campaign in Karnataka. Media may show the face of JP Nadda ji or CM Bommai ji as losers but it is PM Modi’s loss since he made the entire campaign about himself.
