People sent us a message: Cong to review MLC rout, says CM

Bengaluru, Oct 28 (UNI) Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Wednesday said the Congress would undertake a detailed review of its performance in the Legislative Council elections and initiate corrective measures after the BJP-JD(S) alliance swept all four seats, admitting that the results had fallen short of the ruling party's expectations.
The Congress had expected to win at least one or two seats but failed to secure any, Shivakumar acknowledged, promising to examine the reasons behind the setback and address the shortcomings.
“The people have given us a message. We will examine that message very carefully and work on correcting whatever went wrong,” he said, asserting that the party respected the electorate's mandate.
