Celebrations had begun at Congress headquarters in Delhi in anticipation of victory as the election trends trickled in. According to the ECI’s latest data at 12.30 pm, Congress is leading in 131 seats, while the BJP is ahead in 66 seats, JD is leading in 21 and others in 5.
Jairam Ramesh took this opportunity to take a swing at PM Modi and the BJP on his Twitter handle. He highlighted the agendas presented by Congress across election campaigns, while downplaying BJP’s campaign.
Jairam tweeted, “As the results firm up in Karnataka, it is now certain that the Congress has won and the PM has lost. The BJP had made its election campaign a referendum on the PM and on the state getting his ‘ashirwaad’. That has been decisively rejected!”
“The Congress party fought these elections on local issues of livelihood and food security, price rises, farmer distress, electricity supply, joblessness, and corruption. The PM injected divisiveness and attempted polarisation. The vote in Karnataka is for an engine in Bengaluru that will combine economic growth with social harmony,” he further stated in his tweet.
