Shiggaon, 13th May. Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said on Saturday that he will take full responsibility for the BJP’s defeat in the Assembly elections and that the party will act as a responsible opposition in the coming days.
He believes Congress’ “well-organized” electoral strategy might have been one of the major reasons for its victory.
“Election results are in the final stages, I accept the mandate of the people with utmost respect. I take responsibility for this BJP’s defeat, no one else has the responsibility. As the chief minister of the state I take the responsibility. There is a need to do the complete analysis of this defeat, as there are various reasons for this,” CM Bommai said.
Speaking to reporters, he stated that the party will thoroughly analyze each constituency’s performance.
“We will try to overcome all the shortcomings, organise ourselves and the party will once again bounce back. We are a national party and will make all the necessary preparations organisationally and administratively to win the Lok Sabha election, by rectifying our mistakes,” he said, adding the BJP will function as a responsible opposition party in the days to come.
When asked if the Modi and Shah factor did not work in this election, the Chief Minister stated that there are other reasons for this outcome and that it can be discussed after a full analysis.
“The results are still getting finalised, it is not right to speak about it now,” he said, adding Congress’ much organised election strategy might have been one of the major reasons for their win.
Bommai expressed gratitude to the Shiggaon Assembly segment for electing him and stated that he will work for the constituency’s development.
