BENGALURU / NEW DELHI: In a major political setback for the Indian National Congress, the party failed to win a single seat out of the 28 contested Legislative Council (MLC) constituencies across Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Maharashtra. The total whitewash across these four states has dealt a severe blow to the party’s morale, with the loss in ruling Karnataka drawing significant attention. Notably, all the elections were conducted using traditional paper ballots.
