Karnataka MLC Poll Results: BJP Sweeps Council Seats As Congress Demands Ballots

The BJP and NDA swept the Karnataka MLC elections conducted via paper ballots, prompting the Congress to reiterate its demand for future polls to use paper ballots.

Congress leader Raghu Doddi Reddy acknowledged the mandate while claiming the results reflected limited electorates in traditional BJP strongholds rather than the entire state.

BJP leader Anand Gurumurthy asserted that educated graduate and teacher constituencies rejected Congress policies and fiscal management while validating NDA development.
