Bengaluru: As Congress surged ahead on Saturday in the Karnataka assembly elections results, Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) leader BS Yediyurappa said victory and defeat are not new for the party and it will introspect the setback.
The Congress is on its way to scoring an emphatic victory in the Karnataka polls. Congress is at 137 including 10 seats that the party has won so far. BJP continues to lead in 60 seats.
"Victory and defeat aren't new to BJP. Party workers need not be panicked by these results. We will introspect about the party's setback. I respectfully accept this verdict," said BJP leader Yediyurappa on the party's defeat in Karnataka.
Earlier, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai conceded defeat and said that the BJP will come back victorious in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
Congress surged ahead as it lead in 124 seats at noon while the BJP was ahead in 69 seats and JD(S) at 24 seats.
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. (with ANI inputs)
