The words ‘Et tu’ meaning ‘even you’ are generally used to describe surprise or dismay. ‘Et tu (Brute)’ line was spoken by Julius Caesar in a William Shakespeare play at the time of assassination of his friend Junius Brutus.However, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, who is in an alliance with BJP, congratulated them for their ‘stellar performance’.
Hearty congratulations to @BJP4India for their stellar performance in Karnataka. #KarnatakaVerdict
