MLC Elections See BJP-JD(S) Wins as Congress Fails to Secure Seats Using Ballot Papers
The recent MLC elections, conducted partly through ballot papers, resulted in a complete loss for Congress, including all four Karnataka seats and a Bihar seat. The BJP-JD(S) alliance won all contested seats in Karnataka, while BJP and allies secured multiple seats in Bihar. BJP leaders criticized Congress and Rahul Gandhi, arguing the results undermine Congress's claims against electronic voting machines. Congress leaders acknowledged the defeat, calling for internal review and accountability, amid ongoing debates over electoral processes and candidate selection.
