The Congress party seemed to have taken the defeat rather hard. Former Chief Minister from Congress Siddaramaiah resigned as the leader of opposition. Dinesh Gundu Rao who’s the president of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee also resigned. What indications are people trying to give through the legislators they have picked? How will the BJP fit in these rebel lawmakers who had defected from Congress into the cabinet? And is Congress facing a leadership crisis in Karnataka?
