Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Saturday said Congress doesn’t has confidence in its MLAs and it is reason why party has booked resorts to keep its flock together.
Bommai’s statement comes when the results for the Karnataka assembly elections are being declared today.
"We are confident that we will win and cross the magic number. We have got the ground report from all the booths and the constituencies,” Bommai said according to the NDTV report.
The report mentioned Bommai said the grand old party will not get a majority and hence they are in touch with other parties.
"They have no confidence in their legislators," Bommai was quoted as having said.
"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 was quoted as having said.
Karnataka saw a three-cornered contest, with a direct fight between the BJP, Congress and the JD(S) in most of the constituencies.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which is in power in Delhi and Punjab, had also fielded some candidates.
“Most exit polls have predicted a tight contest between the Congress and BJP in the Assembly polls. A majority of them have also given an edge to the Congress over the ruling BJP, while indicating the possibility of a hung Assembly,” it mentioned.
The majority mark in the 224-seat assembly is 113 seats.
