The Congress party won the Karnataka assembly elections on Saturday, defeating the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The Congress won 122 seats in the 224-member assembly, while the BJP won 104 seats. The Janata Dal (Secular) won 37 seats, and the Bahujan Samaj Party won one seat.
The Congress’s victory was a major setback for the BJP, which had been in power in Karnataka for five years. The BJP’s defeat was attributed to a number of factors, including the unpopularity of its chief minister, B.S. Yediyurappa, and the party’s failure to address the concerns of farmers and other sections of the population.
The Congress’s victory was also a personal triumph for Siddaramaiah, who had served as chief minister of Karnataka from 2013 to 2018. Siddaramaiah is seen as a popular and charismatic leader, and his victory is likely to boost Congress’s chances in the next general election.
Siddaramaiah is expected to be sworn in as chief minister of Karnataka on Monday. He has already announced that he will focus on development and social justice if he is re-elected.

If Siddaramaiah is re-elected as chief minister of Karnataka, he has said that his priorities will be:
- Development: Siddaramaiah has said that he will focus on developing the state’s infrastructure, including roads, schools, and hospitals. He has also said that he will promote industries and create jobs.
