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.

“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.
