"In elections victory or defeat is common, all efforts that were required for elections were put by us but we were not successful," Kharge said while talking to reporters in Belagavi.
“But, one thing is certain that those who were confident of victory in the name of religion, despite campaigning from the Prime Minister, Home Minister and others did not succeed,” he added.

The BJP, which was the main opposition party, managed to win only eight. While Congress, drew blank one more time, with a vote share of forgettable 4.26 per cent.
