Karnataka poll outcome defeat for PM Modi: Manik Sarkar
Agartala, May 14 (PTI) CPI(M) politburo member Manik Sarkar on Sunday asserted that the assembly poll outcome in Karnataka is a “big defeat” for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who “projected” himself as the “saviour” of the BJP.
In the May 10 elections to the 224-member Karnataka Assembly, the Congress won 135 seats, while the ruling BJP secured 66 seats.
“The Karnataka result is also a big defeat for Modi ji, who projected himself as the saviour of the saffron party. Despite all his efforts in the southern state, 64 per cent people voted against the BJP,” Sarkar told reporters here.
