With this the southern states of India comprised of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Telangana, wikipedia, have all rejected the BJP. "A dozen Ministers who held prominent portfolios have lost their seats in the Karnataka Assembly, brought down by the anti-BJP wave that swept through the state in this election." The Hindu. Special pleasure would have come from, "Eight Congress turncoats who joined the BJP and helped it form the government in 2019, lost in the May 10 Karnataka Assembly elections, for which the results were announced."
