Karnataka Election 2023: Congress victory mandate against PM Modi, Amit Shah and JP Nadda, says Siddaramaiah

Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Saturday said that the Karnataka election result is a mandate against PM Modi, Amit Shah and JP Nadda and called on all the non-BJP parties to unite in order to defeat the saffron party in the Lok Sabha election next year. “It is a mandate against Narendra Modi, Amit Shah and JP Nadda. PM came to Karnataka 20 times. No PM in the past campaigned like this,” said the former Karnataka chief minister.

Calling on all the non-BJP parties to come together, he said the election result is a stepping stone to the Lok Sabha election. “Result of this election is a stepping stone to the Lok Sabha election. I hope all non-BJP parties come together and see that BJP is defeated and I also hope Rahul Gandhi may become PM of the country,” added Siddaramaiah. Terming it as a big victory for the Congress, Siddaramaiah said the party will cross the 130 mark in the state. “People of Karnataka wanted a change because they were fed up with the BJP government. BJP spent a lot of money on Operation ‘Kamala’. Padyatra of Rahul ji helped in enthusing cadre of party,” he added.
