Karnataka Elections 2023: Exit Polls Predict a Hung Assembly with JDS as the Kingmaker

The Karnataka Assembly elections have been one of the most closely contested elections in recent times, with multiple parties vying for power. The exit polls conducted by various agencies have predicted a hung assembly, with the Janata Dal (Secular) or JDS being the kingmaker in the state.

According to the exit polls, both the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress (INC) are likely to win around 100 seats each in the 224-seat assembly. The JDS, on the other hand, is predicted to win around 20 seats, making it a crucial player in deciding the next government in Karnataka.

The BJP, which currently holds power in the state, is hoping to retain its majority and form the government once again. The party has been campaigning aggressively, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other senior leaders visiting the state to woo voters.

The INC, on the other hand, is hoping to make a comeback and take control of the state once again. The party has been targeting the BJP on various issues, including the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, the state of the economy, and unemployment.

The JDS, which has traditionally been a regional player in Karnataka politics, is hoping to play a crucial role in deciding the next government. The party has not announced which side it will support if the results are indeed a hung assembly, but its leader, H.D. Kumaraswamy, has indicated that the party is open to working with either the BJP or the INC.

In conclusion, the exit polls predict a hung assembly in Karnataka, with the JDS playing a crucial role in deciding the next government. The BJP and the INC are both hoping to win the majority and form the government, but it remains to be seen which way the JDS will swing. The final results of the election will be announced on May 12, and it will be interesting to see which party comes out on top in one of India's most important states.

In a recent decision, the Supreme Court of India ruled that Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's government can continue in power, but criticized Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari for not allowing Uddhav Thackeray the chance to prove his majority in the assembly. This ruling comes after a legal battle over whether or not Eknath Shinde, the current Minister of Urban Development and a member of the Shiv Sena party, was legally elected to the Maharashtra Legislative Council in 2020.
