“NDA’s victory in all four Legislative Council constituencies was a clear indication of public dissatisfaction with Congress govt and would serve as a pointer to the next elections. Educated voters had consciously chosen the BJP-JD(S) alliance after assessing the state govt’s performance. The electorate has sent a message that the Congress govt has failed to deliver. This is a victory for the unity between the BJP and JD(S). Council elections were held by ballot, yet NDA candidates won. What explanation will the Congress offer now? The results would boost the alliance ahead of the next elections, the party was working towards winning more than 130 Assembly seats.”–B Sriramulu, former minister
