Jammu, May 15: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) Working President Raman Bhalla on Monday said the Karnataka election results marked the “beginning of the end of the BJP” at the Centre.
“The BJP had lost assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra also but stole power through horse-trading of MLAs. The people of the country have repeatedly rejected the BJP in elections. The policies of the Central government are anti-poor and anti-middle class,” he said.
According to a statement, Bhalla and former Minister Yogesh Sawhney led party workers to celebrate the Karnataka victory in a programme organized here.
Speaking on the occasion, Bhalla said the victory of the Congress in Karnataka was “a befitting reply by people to an arrogant BJP government” at the Centre. “There was strong resentment among people against the BJP over the way the Central government was treating the Gandhi family,” he said, adding, “The people of Karnataka were angry at the way Rahul Gandhi was suspended from the membership of the Lok Sabha and asked to vacate his house. The public anger is reflected in the assembly election results.”
“The people of Karnataka have shown doors to the divisive and hateful forces who wanted to shake the fundamentals of the Constitution,” he said, adding, “This is not just a victory for the state, but also a promise of change across the nation tomorrow. The outcome resonates as a beacon of hope for those who believe in secular forces. If all secular forces are united, 2024 will see the end of BJP Raj.”
Speaking on the occasion, Yogesh Sawhney said that the Congress victory in the Karnataka elections is the impact of the Bharat Jodo Yatra spearheaded by Rahul Gandhi. “Secondly, the credit goes to our central and local leaders, who campaigned for the party. This is a victory of democracy,” he added.
