Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Thursday questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi over unemployment, inflation, and private investment, citing the BJP's electoral losses in Varanasi and Nagpur. He urged Modi to introspect instead of targeting the Congress, stating that voters in Varanasi, Nagpur, Lucknow, Prayagraj, and Patna had delivered a 'no-confidence motion' against the government's policies. Ramesh referenced the National Democratic Alliance's performance in legislative council elections across Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar, and Karnataka, where the BJP won 13 of 28 seats. In Karnataka, the BJP won three of four seats, while the JD(S) took the Bengaluru Teachers’ seat from the Congress. In Maharashtra, the Congress retained Nagpur Graduates’ seat, and in Bihar, the BJP won three of eight seats.
