"I congratulate each and every Karyakarta of @BJP4Karnataka unit and Shri B S Yeddyurappa ji for their relentless efforts. Like rest of the nation, the great land of Karnataka has shown their unwavering trust in PM @narendramodi's clean, transparent and pro-development governance," Shah said in another tweet.
Earlier in the day, both Janata Dal (Secular) (JD-S) and the BJP have taken appointment from the Governor of Karnataka to discuss the possibility to come to power in the state.
Meanwhile, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has submitted his resignation from his post of the chief minister.
The Congress party has agreed to join hands with JD(S) to form the next government in Karnataka.
