PM Modi slams Congress after NDA ballot sweep
Prime Minister Narendra Modi mocked the Congress party yesterday. The BJP-led NDA secured a massive victory in recent Legislative Council elections. Officials held these polls using traditional ballot papers across four major states. Voters rejected the principal opposition party completely.
Modi highlighted the election method on social media. He asked followers to guess the exact seat count for the grand old party. The Congress party failed to win a single seat. This electoral failure occurred despite the party ruling the state of Karnataka.
The National Democratic Alliance captured all four contested seats in Karnataka. Voters cast their ballots in two teachers’ constituencies and two graduates’ constituencies. The alliance fielded three BJP candidates and one JD(S) candidate. Every single NDA nominee emerged victorious.
Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw addressed the media regarding the results. He criticized opposition leaders for constantly demanding ballot papers instead of electronic voting machines. He pointed out that ballot voting still delivered a total defeat for them.
In the Bengaluru teachers’ constituency, the JD(S) candidate defeated a five-time incumbent. In the North-East teachers’ constituency, the BJP candidate won his fifth consecutive term. Two other BJP candidates secured comfortable victories in the graduates’ constituencies.
Critics often blame electronic voting machines for election losses. These recent results shattered that recurring opposition narrative. The ruling alliance proved its strong grassroots support. Voters decisively backed the NDA leadership.
