New Delhi: Embarrassed by the fiasco in Karnataka, BJP President Amit Shah yesterday tried to put up a brave face and said the saffron party was in its legitimate right to stake claim for Government formation as people’s mandate was clearly against the Congress.
‘’We staked claim for Government formation as the single largest party because the mandate was against the Congress and we expected JD(S), which also sought vote against the Congress, to support us,’’ Shah told reporters at the party headquarters here. “If we had not staked claim to form a Government, it would have been against the mandate of Karnataka people,” he added.
