Now that the dust over the exit polls and the early counting trends about Karnataka Results 2023 is done and dusted, it is almost certain that Congress will form the next state government. Meanwhile, the incumbent BJP came out with a rather below-par performance and the JD(S) barely managed to salvage pride.
Meanwhile, as the results became more prominent and clear, there was a flurry of reactions to the surprising show put up by Congress.
Let’s take a look at some of them here:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted: “Congratulations to the Congress Party for their victory in the Karnataka Assembly polls. My best wishes to them in fulfilling people’s aspirations.”

Senior Congress leader and Member of Parliament representing Karnataka state in the Rajya Sabha Jairam Ramesh said: “The whole election campaign was about the issues of Karnataka. We didn’t make it a national election, we made this election for Vidhan Sabha. Congress’ win is PM Modi’s decisive defeat. This is because except for PM Modi, there was no other face. The issues we raised were related to the state. But BJP made the election campaign like a referendum for PM Modi. JP Nadda said that if you give a vote to Congress PM Modi’s blessings will not be with you. The campaigning by PM Modi was totally rejected by the people of Karnataka”.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin said: “Congrats @INCIndia on spectacular winning of Karnataka. The unjustifiable disqualification of brother @RahulGandhi as MP, misusing premier investigative agencies against political opponents, imposing Hindi, rampant corruption have all echoed in the minds of Karnataka people while voting and they have upheld the #KannadigaPride by teaching a befitting lesson to BJP’s vindictive politics.
