Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut has claimed that the "Modi wave" has ended in India, following the Congress party's victory in the Karnataka Assembly election. Congress won 135 seats, entering as the ruling party in the only southern state previously ruled by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). "Now our wave is about to come in the country," said Raut in a press conference. He hailed the Karnataka election as an opening for Congress countrywide and proof that "dictatorship has been defeated".
