Karaikal: Senior BJP leader and External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Friday hoped BJP would achieve a resounding win in the coming assembly polls in Karnataka, which would serve as the beginning of its ascent in South India.

She was addressing a meeting of BJP office bearers of Puducherry here tonight. Swaraj appreciated the Puducherry BJP for serving as the ‘true opposition party’ efficiently and effectively and urged them to continue their fight for the public cause.
