Reacting to the results, Puttur MLA and senior Congress leader Ashok Rai attributed the victory to the Karnataka government's flagship 'five guarantees,' which he said have had a tangible impact on every household across the state. "This win is not just about politics - it's about trust. The people of Kadaba have shown that they recognize and value a government that delivers on its promises," he said.
