Assam CM On Congress’ Win In Karnataka
Himanta Biswa Sarma said, ”There is nothing new in Congress’ win in Karnataka as it had been in power in the southern state before the 2014 general election when BJP came to power under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”
Sarma added that he had realised that BJP will not perform well in the state but its performance will in no way affect the party from returning to power at the Centre for the third successive term in 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
”The opposition is taking this win as a straw to hold on to in the ocean, but it will have no impact in the future,” he said at the sidelines of a function at Bihaguri in Assam’s Sonitpur district.
Meanwhile, Assam Pradesh Congress President Bhupen Kumar Borah said, ”The people of Assam will also show the BJP the door in the next elections. The Prime Minister even after getting Gandhi removed from the Lok Sabha could not stop Congress from winning the polls in Karnataka.”
