PM Modi Taunts Congress Over Dismal Results in Four-State MLC Polls
· India · Times of India, NDTV, India Today
Prime Minister Narendra Modi mocked Congress on Wednesday after the party failed to secure a single victory in legislative council elections held across four states. The polls, conducted on October 23 using ballot papers, covered 28 seats in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar, and Karnataka. Congress suffered its largest setback in Karnataka, where the BJP-JD(S) alliance swept all four seats, including the Bengaluru Teachers' constituency previously held by Congress. In Bihar, Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj Party won its first legislative council seat by defeating Congress incumbent Madan Mohan Jha. Meanwhile, counting continued for seats in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra, where the BJP and regional parties maintained strong leads.
Why it matters
The election results deliver a severe blow to Congress across multiple states and strengthen the electoral footing of the BJP-led alliance and regional parties.
