Bommai’s Take On Reports of Congress Moving Its Leaders to Resorts

Even as the trends in Karnataka show that the Congress is hitting the majority mark, Chief Minister, Basavaraj Bommai has expressed confidence that the BJP will cross the majority mark.

“We have the ground report from the booths and we are confident that we will win and cross the majority mark,” Bommai said.

On being asked about the Congress allegedly moving its MLAs to a resort to keep the flock together, Bommai said that the grand old party will not get the majority and hence they are in touch with other parties.

He also ruled out any coalition and said that the BJP will come to power on its own.

"At present, there's no question of any alliance as they are sure to get the absolute majority. Let the Congress leaders hold any meeting as they have the right to hold it," Bommai said.

Karnataka witnessed a three-cornered contest. The main players in the state are the BJP, Congress and JD(S).

The trends currently show that the Congress is in a comfortable position. There are many shock defeats on the cards.

In case the Congress wins, its biggest challenge would be to appoint a chief minister. Both D K Shivakumar and Siddraramaiah are in the race to become chief minister in case the party wins the Karnataka elections.
