40 percent slogan accepted by public: Pilot on early trends in Karnataka polls

As the early trends in Karnataka showed the Congress party crossing the halfway mark in Karnataka, Sachin Pilot said on Saturday that the issue of “corruption” raised by the party against the ruling BJP turned out to be decisive in the victory.

The former Deputy Chief Minister made these remarks during the third day of his ‘Jan Sangharsh Yatra’ in Ajmer’s Zisani on Saturday. Pilot said, “Congress has the majority. We will have a thumping victory. The slogan “40 percent commission government,” given by us, was accepted by the public. It was a major issue raised by us to defeat the BJP. People accepted it and gave the majority to the Congress”.

Notably, “40 percent commission government” was a political jibe used by Congress against the ruling BJP, alleging several corruption charges under its tenure.

Meanwhile, as per the early trends of counting for the Karnataka assembly elections, the Congress party stood in a comfortable position to form the majority by crossing the halfway mark and was seen leading on 115 seats at 10:40 am.

The BJP, on the other hand, was ahead with 73 seats. JD (S) was leading with 23 seats. While the ECI data also showed two seats being led by other parties, Kalyana and Rajya Pragati Paksha and Sarvodaya Karnataka Paksha both led on one seat each.
