People have voted ‘furiously’ against BJP’s ‘bad’ governance: Kharge

Bengaluru, PTI: AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday termed Congress’ good show in the Karnataka Assembly polls as a victory of “Janata Janardhana”, saying people have voted “furiously” against BJP’s “bad administration” in the state. He said all the newly elected Congress legislators have been asked to reach here by this evening and the due process of the government formation will be followed.

“We have sent a message to everyone (newly elected persons) to come by this evening. They all will come here by this evening and once they come, they will be instructed on the due course. After that, the high command will send observers (and) after that the due processes (for government formation) will follow,” he told reporters. Congress’ good show was a “Janata Janardhana Victory”, he said, crediting the people for the party’s return to power as it established a clear lead.

“People themselves have supported us, they have voted for us furiously against the bad administration. This shows voters of Karnataka are awakened. Despite the PM, Home Minister (Amit Shah), dozens of Ministers and CMs of other states camping here, and despite money and muscle being used, people have unitedly voted for Congress,” he added.
