The Congress has returned to power with a clear majority in the Karnataka assembly elections. This performance of the party in the Karnataka assembly elections ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections will surely enthuse the workers. In South India, the BJP faced the challenge of retaining power in Karnataka, while the Congress also faced the challenge of making a comeback. With the support of Basavaraj Bommai, the BJP tried its best to retain power, while the Congress tried to return to power by pushing the DK Shivakumar-Siddaramaiah duo forward.
Karnataka is one of those states where the government changes every five years. This process is going on in Karnataka since 1985, the people here give a chance to one party for five years and another party in the next election. This time too, the people of Karnataka were not in the mood to give a second chance to the party, repeating the same series with the BJP.
The credit for this victory is also being given to Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’. Rahul Gandhi covered a distance of 511 km on foot for 21 days during the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Karnataka in three phases. The yatra had received tremendous public support from the public as soon as it entered the state. The Bharat Jodo Yatra had passed through seven Lok Sabha and 20 assembly constituencies in the state.
