New Delhi | The counting of votes for the Karnataka Legislative Assembly elections has begun. In the next few hours, it will become clear to whom the people of Karnataka have given their mandate. In this election, the prestige of many veterans including state Chief Minister and BJP leader Basavaraj Bommai, former Chief Minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah, DK Shivakumar, JDS’s HD Kumaraswamy and former Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar, who rebelled against BJP and contested on Congress ticket, is at stake. But it’s on. The record of the last 38 years of the state shows that the people of Karnataka have voted for change in every election and thus it is evident that the electoral history of the state is against the BJP.
However, keeping in view the history of the BJP’s victory in many states including Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, the BJP is claiming to get the absolute majority this time in Karnataka. It is very important for the BJP to form the government in Karnataka for the Lok Sabha elections to be held in 2024 and to achieve success in ‘Mission South India’ and to boost the morale of its workers.
This is the reason why all the BJP leaders may be claiming to get a full majority in the state by denying the figures of exit polls, but according to the sources, BJP has also started working on ‘Plan B’ to form the government in the state. Is done. If in any way a hung assembly is formed in the state and the BJP fails to get an absolute majority like in the last election of 2018, then the party can work out some formula to compromise with the JDS.
