Bommai won from VIP seat at Shiggaon

Despite defeat in the Assembly polls, Bommai won from the VIP seat of Shiggaon by over 20,000 votes against Congress’ Yasir Ahmed Khan Pathan, as he was seeking re-election for the fourth consecutive time from the segment.

‘Accept the decision of the people’

The chief minister said, “We respectfully accept the decision of the people. I take the responsibility for the defeat.” “This time despite getting more than 36 per cent votes, we have got less number of seats. The analysis is going on, but defeat is a defeat. In the party, we will do a detailed analysis of the results, and rectify wherever required.”

Bommai said that once the results will be out a detailed analysis will be done to analyse the gaps that were left at various levels.

Speaking to the news agency ANI, the BJP leader said, “We’ve not been able to make the mark. Once the results come we will do a detailed analysis. As a national party, we will not only analyse but also see what deficiencies and gaps were left at various levels. We take this result in our stride.”

“In spite of a lot of efforts put in by PM and BJP workers, we’ve not been able to make the mark. Once the full results come we’ll do a detailed analysis. We take this result in our stride to come back in Lok Sabha elections,” Bommai told ANI.

The Congress registered a thumping win in Karnataka ousting the BJP from the state following the Assembly polls.
