BJP lost Karnataka polls due its ‘nature’ and ‘behaviour’, ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ helped Congress: Raj Thackeray
Thane, May 14 (PTI) The defeat of the Bharatiya Janata Party in the Karnataka Assembly elections is the result of its “nature” and “behaviour” and Rahul Gandhi's ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ definitely helped the Congress, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray said on Sunday.
Speaking to reporters at Ambernath in Maharashtra’s Thane district, Thackeray said the “opposition party never wins the election, it’s the ruling party that loses in the polls”.
In the May 10 elections to the 224-member Karnataka Assembly, the Congress put up an impressive show by winning 135 seats, while incumbent BJP and the former prime minister H D Deve Gowda-led Janata Dal (Secular) secured 66 and 19, respectively.
