We have understood that people want us to perform better. As there are no elections till 2018, the government will focus on development works. However, the results are not an indicator of the government's achievements.
Siddaramaiah, Chief Minister
The results are on expected lines for the Congress. The party has got a majority in 10 Zilla Panchayats. People are happy with the administration.
G Parameshwara, KPCC president
It has been an impressive performance by the BJP. It is a slap on the face of the ruling Congress. Most independents are in favour of supporting us in ZP/TPs with hung verdict.
Jagadish Shettar, BJP leader and former Chief Minister
Use of money and muscle power was extensive in these elections. As I was not well, I could not actively take part in electioneering. I am not disappointed with the results.
H D Deve Gowda, JD(S) leader
