As trends showed the Bharatiya Janata Party losing the southern state, Karnataka’s outgoing Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said on Saturday that there are multiple reasons for the defeat and that the party will investigate all of them. Bommai himself won the Shiggaon constituency by a whopping 35978 votes.
“…I take responsibility for this debacle. There are multiple reasons for this. We will find out all the reasons and strengthen the party once again for Parliament elections..,” said Basavaraj Bommai.
He said that the party will take the verdict in its ‘stride’.
Taking to Twitter, Bommai said, “We accept the verdict of the people of Karnataka with due respect. We will take this verdict in our stride. We will analyse and correct our fault lines and rebuild the party and come back during parliamentary elections.”
Meanwhile, Congress wins 103 seats and leads on 33 more as the counting continues.
