Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai says the results are a pointer to the shape of things to come
Describing the BJP’s good performance in civic elections in Belagavi, Hubballi-Dharwad and Kalaburagi as people’s acceptance of the new regime, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said the results were a pointer to the shape of things to come in future. He said the party had faced the corporation elections under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP national president J. P. Nadda, former chief minister B. S. Yediyurappa and party State president Nalin Kumar Kateel. He thanked voters for backing the BJP. Mr. Kateel said the party would capture power in the three corporations in Belagavi, Hubballi-Dharwad and Kalaburagi with the help of legislators and MPs. He attributed the party’s good performance to the administration of former chief minister B. S. Yediyurappa and his successor Basavaraj Bommai. He maintained that the results were an indication of people asking Congress leaders to desist from eying the post of chief minister. He alleged that Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah intentionally desisted from campaign actively to show KPCC president D. K. Shivakumar in poor light.
