The battle for Karnataka has been high-pitched, with both the Congress and the BJP putting out aggressive campaigns in the state. BJP chief Amit Shah and Congress president Rahul Gandhi have been leading their party's election campaign in the southern state. Karnataka will hold elections for its 224-seat assembly on May 12 and the result will be announced three days later.
Here are the highlights of the Karnataka election nomination filing:
CM @siddaramaiah has accepted defeat even before the war has begun. By contesting from Badami he has proved two things:

1. He has no confidence in winning from his own hometown.
2. By choosing a Kuruba dominant constituency, he showed he is no more than a 'one caste' leader.
Mr. CM, when you recommended separate religion for Lingayats, you claimed to have their full backing!

In that case, why did you not choose a Lingayat dominant AC? Or have you already realised that the move has backfired?
A leader must look to win hearts, Mr. CM, not vote banks!
Your decision to contest from two seats isn't the one from a position of strength Mr. CM, but because of the fear of imminent defeat in Chamundeshwari!

You all may deny, but everyone knows how paranoid you are of Parameshwar and DK Shi sabotaging your 'last' chance! https://t.co/Nk0WdY5jSc
CM contesting from Badami confirms his suspicion of a possible mutiny from his own 'çonfidants'

Looks like the cold war between Parameshwar-DK Shi Vs Siddu has only intensified as one conspires to pull down the other!
Siddu broke unity in society. Karma seems to be catching up!

I am looking forward to a thundering speech on corruption by PM @narendramodi on 1st May! pic.twitter.com/c4ReMFBMn3
