The Bharatiya Janata Party criticised Karnataka minister DK Shivakumar after the Congress party secured a sweeping victory in the recent Legislative Council polls.
The Karnataka Legislative Council elections concluded with the Congress party winning a decisive majority of the seats, while the Bharatiya Janata Party lagged behind. Senior minister DK Shivakumar, a prominent Congress leader in the state, was highlighted as a key factor behind the party’s performance.
In response, BJP officials launched a sharp criticism of Shivakumar, using the phrase “It’s done, bro” to underscore their disappointment with the outcome. The party accused the minister of leveraging his ministerial influence to sway the results in favour of Congress.
Political analysts noted that the result reflects a shift in voter sentiment in Karnataka’s upper house, and the BJP’s remarks are likely aimed at regrouping ahead of upcoming state and national contests.
