Karnataka poll results: Congress won, PM Modi lost, says Jairam Ramesh/
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh on Saturday said the trends emerging from Karnataka confirm that the Congress has won and the PM has lost. Karnataka has rejected the BJP's campaign which was "a referendum on the PM", the Congress leader said as Congress crossed the halfway majority in the early rounds of counting. While the Exit Polls indicated a favourable turn of events for the Congress, the possibility of a hung assembly was not ruled out. But the first few rounds of counting indicate a comfortable situation for the Congress while JD(S) which was expected to be the kingmaker was seen trailing in many important seats.
