Asserting that the mandate in Karnataka Assembly polls was against the Congress, BJP president Amit Shah today said the party has found a new way of portraying defeat as its victory.
Shah also asked the Congress to explain to the people of Karnataka why they were celebrating even when most of their ministers had lost election.
"Only Congress and JD(S) are celebrating, people of Karnataka are not (celebrating)," he told reporters.
The mandate given by people of Karnataka was against the Congress. There was no confusion about it, he said.
"If we had not staked claim to form government, it would have been against the mandate of Karnataka people," he asserted
