The social media was buzzing with the Karnataka trends and results all through the day. Twitter and Facebook was flooded with memes and observations that ranged from funny to sombre.<\/p>\n
One tweet used the south Indian hit “Bahubali 2” as a meme to show what Narendra Modi was likely to tell BJP president Amit Shah: “Jab tak tum mere sath ho mujhe election haraane wale paida nahi hua mama”. Former chief minister of Jammu & Kashmir, Omar Abdullah quoted from William Shakespeare’s Julius Ceasar<\/em> tweeting, \u201cEt tu Karnataka”.\u00a0https:\/\/twitter.com\/OmarAbdullah\/status\/996246397706948609<\/a><\/p>\n Reactions to the tweet were hilarious. Someone even asked, \u201cWhat does it mean? Ek tha Karnataka?\u201d<\/p>\n Once it emerged that the BJP was falling short of clear majority, Omar Abdullah tweeted, \u201cRight now I wish I owned a resort around Bangalore somewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee tweeted: \u201cCongratulations to the winners of the Karnataka elections. For those who lost, fight back. If Congress had gone into an alliance with the JD(S), the result would have been different. Very different. https:\/\/twitter.com\/MamataOfficial\/status\/996265476094279680<\/a><\/p>\n Leader of Opposition in Bihar, Tejashwi Yadav tweeted: \u201cAfter betrayal of mandate in Bihar 10 months ago @RJDforIndia<\/a> is & was single largest party but not called by governor to form govt. I waited &sat on dharna at Governer house\u2019s gate for hours with our MLAs till 2AM<\/span> but didn\u2019t get time to meet. Let\u2019s see what happens in Karnataka\u201d<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/yadavtejashwi\/status\/996329248175476736<\/a><\/p>\n Public interest lawyer and activist Prasant Bhushan tweeted: Now that BJP is clearly short of majority & (Cong+JDS) have a majority &have declared they are willing to form a coalition govt, the Governor would have to invite them to form govt. Inviting the BJP would be a clear attempt to induce defections & would be worse than even Goa\/Manipur. https:\/\/twitter.com\/pbhushan1\/status\/996357349995565059<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The social media was buzzing with the Karnataka trends and results all through the day.
