The chief minister of Rajasthan, Ashok Gehlot, stated that Karnataka has chosen the politics of development over the politics of sectarianism, in response to the assembly election trends that indicated the Congress was marching towards victory.
Votes were being counted for an election widely viewed as a litmus test for both parties ahead of the 2024 parliamentary elections. According to trends from the Election Commission of India, the Congress was ahead in 117 seats and the BJP was ahead in 75 seats in Karnataka.
“This will be repeated in the upcoming assembly elections in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Telangana as well,” tweeted Gehlot in Hindi.
Assembly elections are scheduled for later this year in all four states.
The ambiance that was present in Karnataka during Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ is evident in the election results, according to Gehlot.
“Congress leaders ran an excellent campaign under the leadership of UPA Chairwoman Sonia Gandhi, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi,” the chief minister of Rajasthan said.
With polls indicating a probable victory for the Congress, party members in Rajasthan celebrated in front of the Pradesh Congress Committee office.
Workers for the Congress stated that the party’s success in Karnataka will have a positive effect in Rajasthan.
“The party will triumph with a substantial mandate in Karnataka. Due to the state government’s initiatives, the ambiance in Rajasthan is already favorable to the party, and we are optimistic that the party will retain power in the state in the upcoming assembly elections, a party worker told reporters.
