Congress' Karnataka win signals potential trouble for Modi's BJP.
TL;DR Summary
The Congress party has won a clear majority in the southern Indian state of Karnataka, securing 135 of the 224 seats in the Legislative Assembly. The result is a blow to the governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which won just 66 seats. Local political factors were central to the outcome, but the result could serve as a morale boost for the opposition as it tries to unseat Modi nationally in the country’s elections likely in April and May 2024.
