TIL Desk/National/Panaji/ BJP president Amit Shah has asserted the party would form the next government in Karnataka, a day after the polling for high-stake assembly polls in the southern state indicated a close contest between the saffron party and the Congress.
“The BJP will form the government in Karnataka on May 15 evening after the results,” Shah said while addressing a gathering of around 15,000 BJP workers at Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Stadium near Panaji. Most of the post-poll surveys have predicted the BJP to emerge as the single largest party in Karnataka, with the JD(S) of former prime minister H D Deve Gowda likely to emerge as the kingmaker.
Polling was held on Saturday in 222 constituencies in Karnataka, currently ruled by the Congress. Any party or alliance will need the support of 112 MLAs to form the new government. Shah who spoke on various issues, recalled the cross-border surgical strike launched by Indian forces on terrorist launch pads in 2016.
He said after US and Israel, the country is now known to avenge the killings of its soldiers. During the meeting on Sunday, a video message of Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, who is undergoing treatment in the USA since March this year, was also played. In the message, Parrikar announced that he would return to his home state within the next few weeks.
