Poll results have come as shock to Congress: HDK

The results have come as a shock to the Congress party leaders, who are boasting of coming to power, said former chief minister and State JD(S) Chief H D Kumaraswamy.

The JD(S) leader said the Congress leaders were boasting of forming governments in Goa and Punjab and claimed that their party alone was capable of becoming an alternative to BJP in Karnataka.

“The JD(S) will fight the coming assembly elections in the State on the irrigation issues,’’ he said.

Kumaraswamy said the JD(S) was inspired by the outcome of West Bengal elections and Aam Aadmi Party’s triumph in Punjab and has strengthened the party’s resolve to go on its own.
