Sitharaman accused the Congress of making false promises to the state. She said the party did nothing in its five-year tenure but during elections tried to mislead the electorate by making promises that were not genuine. To ABP News she also spoke about the four factors that helped BJP win a positive favour in the state. According to Sitharaman, the four factors are -

• People's trust on Prime Minister Narendra Modi
• Amit Shah's unparalleled hardwork
• Local representative in Karnataka, BS Yeddyurappa
• BJP's booth level workers

The vote count on Tuesday from Saturday's Assembly election showed the Bharatiya Janata Party almost touching the half-way mark, party workers and leaders were seen waving BJP flags and dancing to drum beats. No incumbent government has been re-elected in Karnataka since 1985. The total polling percentage in Karnataka Elections was 72.13 percent and a total of 2,654 candidates, including 216 women candidates were in the fray for Assembly Elections this year.
