B S Yediyurappa, a pillar of the Karnataka BJP and a former chief minister, declared on Saturday that the outcomes of the Assembly elections will have no impact on the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
“The election result has no connection with the 2024 election. We had won 25 seats and again we will make sincere efforts to win those many seats again to make Narendra Modi Prime Minister,” the four-time Chief Minister told reporters here.
Appealing to party workers not to panic about the Karnataka results, he said the party will introspect about the reasons behind its defeat.

He asked the Congress to honour the promises it made to the people.
“You had gone to every door offering guarantees and promised to fulfil them immediately after coming to power. It’s your duty to fulfil them,” Yediyurappa said.
These promises are: 200 units of free power to all households (Gruha Jyoti), Rs 2,000 monthly assistance to the woman head of every family (Gruha Lakshmi), 10 kg of rice free to every member of a BPL household (Anna Bhagya), Rs 3,000 every month for unemployed graduate youth and Rs 1,500 for unemployed diploma holders (both in the age group of 18-25) for two years (Yuva Nidhi), and free travel for women in public transport buses (Shakti).
