"So as per result trends in Karnataka: Bajrang Bali ki Jai, Bhajpa ki haar hai tay," Priyanka Chaturvedi wrote. "Even Bajrang Bali has given a thumbs down to Modi ji’s campaign in Karnataka. Media may show the face of JP Nadda ji or CM Bommai ji as losers but it is PM Modi’s loss since he made the entire campaign about himself," the MP wrote.
