Expressing confidence that the BJP would repeat the UP performance in Karnataka in the Assembly elections next year, Mangaluru MP Nalin Kumar Kateel said, "In Karnataka too, the BJP will definitely emerge as the single largest party.
"The election results have instilled confidence in the BJP party workers in Karnataka. Nobody can stop Yeddyurappa from becoming the chief minister now," Nalin said.
"BJP's brilliant victories in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand are a testimony of the success of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership and the central government's pro-people programmes. The people have strongly and clearly rejected the Congress."
"The people have understood the fact that the country is moving on the path of development under the leadership of PM Modi. The voters have supported demonetisation too. The leaders of the alliance (SP-Congress) who had made personal attacks at the PM have been given proper reply by the people of north India," he said.
In Udupi, district BJP activists celebrated 'Vijayotsava', in front of Clock Tower.
District BJP president Mattaru Ratnakar Hegde speaking to daijiworld said, "The election results in UP and Uttarakhand are a clear indication of the upcoming elections in Karnataka. The union government has brought a lot of changes in the economic system, internal security and so on. The election results are an answer to the opposition parties. Even after demonetisation, the GDP has seen good growth. Definitely, Modi wave will impact Karnataka Legislative Assembly and Lok Sabha elections too. The Modi government will fulfill the desires of the poor."
Yashpal Suvarna, Nayana Ganesh, Naveen Kumar Kutyaru and others were present.
