Pointing at the defeated BJP, Mr Poojary asked the Congress winners to take a leaf of lesson and try not to repeat the mistakes committed by the BJP.
“The voters have taught an apt lesson to the BJP for its corrupt and inefficient administration. The winning Congress candidates should learn not to be like the BJP. In case any candidate follows the BJP's path, then I will given a clarion call to the electorate to vote against such a Congress candidate, without any obligation,” said Mr Poojary addressing a news conference on Wednesday in Mangalore.
Calling the victory of the Congress as an 'expected' one in the district, Mr Poojary said that the BJP dug a ditch for itself and hence it cannot blame anyone for its defeat.
“The plight of the BJP is a lesson for the Congress candidates. It teaches that any candidate should not give scope for inefficient or corrupt administration. If the candidates understand this and work sincerely for next five years then there is no doubt over such sincere candidates getting elected again,” he said.
Lauding U T Khader, Mr Poojary said that he has created history by breaking the record set by his father as he has won by wider margin than his father. However, refusing to accept Dr Raghu's defeat, Mr Poojary said that Dr Raghu only witnessed a setback and he did not lose.
Appreciating the awareness among the DK voters, Mr Poojary said that the voters of 'Karavali' districts have given an outstanding mandate.
Lauding independent candidate Halady Srinivs Shetty, Mr Poojary said that it is a great accomplishment to contest polls as an independent candidate and then register victory with such a wide margin.
Mocking at Gujarat CM Narendra Modi, Mr Poojary said that Mr Modi has in some way become a reason for the BJP's defeat.
“He tried to create hatred here but the voters here taught Mr Modi what actual Hinduism is all about,” he said.
Congress leader Ibrahim Kodijal, Kallige Tharanath Shetty among others were present.
