The BJP had benefited from Deve Gowda's "doings", he said and did not agree that price rise was the cause for BJP's thumping win.

"No, not price rise, which is a media-hype. The BJP gained seats from the JD(S) while the Congress increased its voting percentage," Prasad said.

"Deve Gowda ne satyanash kiya (Deve Gowda messed up the Karnataka political scenario)," Prasad alleged ahead of the BJP staking claim to form government in Karnataka, the first time for the saffron party to form its own government down south.
