MLC Election Result: BJP Breaks Records | Rahul Gandhi Faces major Setback Even in Karnataka
The results for the recent Legislative Council (MLC) elections across 28 seats in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Bihar have officially been declared. The ruling Congress party faced a significant political setback by failing to secure even a single seat in these polls. This defeat is particularly notable in Karnataka, where the Congress is currently in power. The outcome has drawn sharp criticism from rival political parties, especially because the MLC elections were conducted using traditional ballot papers—a voting method that the Congress party has frequently advocated for in recent times. Despite using ballots instead of Electronic Voting Machines, the party suffered a complete washout across all participating states.
