Kamal Haasan & Prakash Raj Celebrates BJP’s Loss

Renowned actor Prakash Raj took to Twitter to express his jubilation over the outcome of the Karnataka assembly elections, where the Congress party emerged victorious. The election results were declared on Saturday, marking the largest vote share for Congress in the state in 34 years. Prakash Raj joined several other prominent figures, including Kamal Haasan, in congratulating Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress party.

In his tweet, Prakash Raj thanked the people of Karnataka for “kicking out hatred and bigotry,” while also using a metaphorical reference to an “emperor” being exposed. He applauded the Kannadigas for banishing hypocrisy and promoting a sense of righteousness.

Congress crossed the majority mark of 113 seats in the Karnataka assembly, securing a clear win against the ruling BJP, which had held the state. The counting of votes took place on Saturday, following the elections held on Wednesday for the 224-member assembly.

Earlier, Kamal Haasan had expressed his congratulations to Rahul Gandhi, likening his gentle approach to that of Mahatma Gandhi and emphasizing the positive impact it had on the people. Haasan praised Gandhi for his credible and creditable approach, highlighting the rejection of divisiveness by the people of Karnataka.

Before the election, Prakash Raj had engaged in a Twitter exchange with Kannada actor Kichcha Sudeep, who was campaigning for the BJP. Prakash Raj had urged Sudeep, a beloved artist, to be the voice of the people rather than aligning himself with a political party.

With Congress securing a significant victory in Karnataka, Prakash Raj’s celebratory tweet and his message against hatred and bigotry resonate with the prevailing sentiments of rejecting divisive politics. The election outcome marks an important milestone for the Congress party and showcases the support it garnered from the people of Karnataka.
