Election results in BJP's favour will have positive effect on Karnataka Assembly poll: CM Bommai
Bengaluru, Mar 10: Buoyed by the election results in favour of BJP in four States, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Thursday said the party's victory there will have a positive effect in the state, which goes to Assembly polls next year.
"There will be a positive effect of this election on Karnataka. The election results have filled our workers with enthusiasm. The BJP will march forward with more vigour in implementing the programmes mentioned in our budget," he told reporters here.
He vowed that his government will give a "prosperous, safe and new" Karnataka to the people of the state.
"We are confident that the people of Karnataka will install us in the 2023 general assembly election for another five years," Bommai said.
He congratulated the BJP leadership for the tremendous show in four out of five assembly elections. "Especially in Uttar Pradesh, the BJP has garnered more seats to form the 'double engine government' led by its Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
I congratulate the voters of five states, especially our leader Prime Minister Narendra Modi, our party president J P Nadda, Home Minister Amit Shah, Adityanath and others," Bommai said.
According to him, the pro-people programmes started by Narendra Modi in favour of marginal sections of society, farmers and women, helped the party to win the Assembly polls.
The CM also said the COVID management and financial empowerment of poor were very much appreciated by the people, who voted in favour of Modi and made the opposition "bite the dust".
Bommai said the election results have made the BJP leaders vow to do more pro-people work in the coming years.
He also explained that the election outcome demonstrated that the Prime Minister has laid a strong foundation to realise his dream of building a 'New India' with the motto 'Sab Ka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sab Ka Vishwas, Sab Ka Prayas'.
Bommai also said the results proved once again that there is one leader today across India, and it is Narendra Modi. As the state will go for Assembly election next year, Bommai said the PM would visit Karnataka sometime in the next two to three months where the party will announce its programmes for Karnataka for the next one year.

Fake notes with 'movie shooting purpose only' written on them send police into tizzy in Sirsi
Sirsi (Karnataka), Apr 8 (PTI): The police in Uttar Kannada went into a tizzy on Tuesday after they found fake currency notes of Rs 500 denomination from a house in Dandeli with 'movie shooting purpose only' written on them.
Based on a tip-off, police searched a rented house at Gandhinagar in Dandeli and confiscated the fake currency notes along with a money counting machine.
Arshad Khan, who is said to be from Goa, was staying as a tenant in the house belonging to Noorjan Jhunjuwadkar, police said.
Police were informed after Jhunjuwadkar noticed that Khan was absent from the house for the past one month.
The fake currency notes had the inscription 'Reverse Bank of India' on them, but did not have the signature of the RBI governor, police said.
The notes were printed on a shining paper with only zeros written in the place of the number, and 'movie shooting purpose only' inscribed on them, police said.
A hunt is on to trace Khan to question him about the seizure, they added.
