Pointing to results under Siddaramaiah government, Bommai says such things can only be gauged from general elections
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, who is facing the first-ever Assembly poll test under his leadership with the upcoming byelections, has maintained that the polls will not be a referendum on the effectiveness of his governance or the BJP’s popularity. “Such things are decided in the general elections,” he told reporters on Sunday in Haveri, en route to Hangal, where he addressed a party rally.
“When Siddaramaiah was Chief Minister, the then ruling Congress won two bypolls to the Assembly. But he lost the general elections. This shows that bypolls are not indicative of party popularity,” he said.
