Karnataka mandate was against Congress: Amit Shah

BJP president Amit Shah holding a press conference on the Karnataka elections.

After thanking the BJP workers for their hard work in the Karnataka polls, Shah, lists the failings of the Congress government in the state.

He says the people's mandate was for the BJP and not the Congress or the JD-S. "We got the most seats, we had gone from 40 to 104. It was an anti-Congress mandate. If we had not tried to form government, it would have gone against the mandate of the people of Karnataka," Shah said.

"What is the Congress celebrating? More than half of their ministers lost, CM lost from one seat. Similarly, why is JDS celebrating? For getting 37 seats?" Shah says and added that the Congress and JDS have formed an unholy alliance.

With him at the presser is Power Minister Piyush Goyal.
