The counting has begun for the Karnataka Assembly elections at 8 am. The Congress and BJP have locked horns and awaiting their fate for this Assembly election which will finally determine the result of the 2019 General Elections. The poll results are expected to be out by late afternoon. With different exit polls predicting different results and some even predicting hung assembly, a tumultuous race to the finish has begun. Seven Congress MLAs have been angry from Congress’ decision to support JD(S) for making Government in Karnataka.
Votes are being counted for 222 out of the 224 assembly seats from 8 am. 72.36 percent of the five crore eligible voters in Karnataka cast their votes on Saturday last, a record above the 72 voter turnout recorded in the 2013 state elections. An aggregate of nine exit polls shows the BJP rising as the largest party with 97 Assembly seats, but well short of the majority mark. The Congress will win 90 seats and regional party Janata Dal-Secular or JDS 31, according to the poll of exit polls.

With the exit polls also predicting that HD Deve Gowda of the Janata Dal-Secular will emerge as the kingmaker of Karnataka, there has been a strong noise of post-poll negotiations even before the counting of votes begins. There is a prediction that the JDS chief HD Kumaraswamy is in talks with the Congress and the BJP. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said he would step aside for a Dalit candidate if the party high command so desires. The JDS has said it is the Congress’ responsibility to reach out if it does not get a majority today.
