It is a victory of the democracy, people were fed up with the Kumaraswamy govt, I want to assure the people of Karnataka that a new era of development will start now”, Yeddyurappa was quoted as saying.

The official twitter account of the BJP Karnataka called the trust vote a victory for the people of Karnataka. It also indicated the party’s intention to stake claim by stating that, “we promise a stable and able governance to the people of Karnataka”.
