The BJP Karnataka in a tweet said, “It’s the victory of people of Karnataka. It’s the end of an era of corrupt & unholy alliance. We promise a stable & able governance to the people of Karnataka. Together we will make Karnataka prosperous again.”
“Democracy restored in Karnataka as the power greedy unholy alliance of Congress & JDS bits dust People had blessed us as single largest party We will soon form a government that will upload the dignity & sanctity of our land We will script the era of development, BJP added.
In past few weeks, Sixteen MLAs of the Congress- JDS coalition have resigned from the party and two independent members pulled out support.
The Congress-JDS coalition government was formed in May last year after the BJP could not prove its majority in the House.
