Referring to the hung verdict in Karnataka Assembly elections and the political parleys following it, Uday Chopra tweeted, “I just googled the governor of Karnataka. BJP guy and RSS hmmm I guess we all know what’s gonna happen.”



Twitterati reacted to the actor’s tweet mocking him and referring to him as the “Rahul Gandhi of Bollywood”. Some of them also cited that former President Pranab Mukherjee was also a loyal Congress man before holding the highest office of the country.


Here are some of the reactions:









Karnataka delivered a hung Assembly on Tuesday with no party getting a clear majority to form government in the state. While the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged as the single-largest party, winning 104 seats, the Congress and the Janata Dal Secular stood second and third with wins on 78 and 38 seats respectively. Even before full results could come in, intense political parley began with the Congress and the JDS declaring that they would jointly form the government in Karnataka. However, the single largest party refused to budge, and ultimately both the sides met Governor Vajubhai Vala and staked claims to form the government.
