Dubai: Expatriates in
Saudi Arabia have hailed the results in the recently concluded
assembly elections in the Indian state of Karnataka.
The Congress party had stormed back to power in the state,
replacing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
In 2008, the BJP had managed to come to power in a south Indian
state for the first time by winning the Karnataka assembly
elections.
Hailing the results, Abdul Majeed Neha and Rasheed Kolatra,
president and general secretary of the Jeddah chapter of
Congress-affiliated Overseas Indian Cultural Congress (OICC) said
that the people of Karnataka have voted out corrupt and communal
governments from power, the Arab News reported.
According to Naser Khurseed, a representative of the Karnataka NRI
Forum, the people of the state had shown good sense by ousting
communal politics from the state.
A large number of expatriates from Karnataka in Saudi Arabia come
from places like Bamgalore, Mangalore, Gulbarga and Bidar.
