Karnataka Assembly Polls 2018

Congress's Siddaramaiah, who was the Chief Minister of Karnataka for a term that ended in 2018, is still the most preferred candidate for the post, NDTV's new opinion poll in partnership with Lokniti-CSDS has found.

In the 2018 Karnataka election, the incumbent Siddaramaiah-led Congress party lost power, but its performance in terms of vote share was "historic". For the first time in nearly four decades, an incumbent political party had increased its vote share.

He had represented Gurmitkal assembly constituency in Kalaburagi district from 2008 to 2018, and was a Minister in the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government earlier.

DK Shivakumar is one of the most well-known Congress faces in Karnataka. The Congress state chief is a troubleshooter and was crucial to the party forming the government with Janata Dal (Secular), or JD(S), after the 2018 assembly election.

Karnataka is scheduled to go to polls in the coming months. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged as the single largest party in the 2018 Karnataka assembly election. It won 104 out of the total 225 seats.

Former Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah is reluctant to contest the 2023 assembly election in the state from the Chamundeshwari assembly segment in Mysuru district where he had lost in 2018.

Chief Ministers of West Bengal, Bihar and Karnataka today congratulated their Telangana counterpart K Chandrshekhar Rao on his ruling TRS party's performance in the state's Assembly elections.

The Congress and Janata Dal (Secular) won two seats each in their 4:1 victory over the BJP in the by-elections to three Lok Sabha and two assembly constituencies in Karnataka. State chief minister and Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Kumaraswamy attributed the alliance's victory to "arithmetic".

The success of the ruling alliance in the by-elections in Karnataka has come as shot in the arm for a coalition to take on the BJP in the next year's assembly elections. The alliance has a shot at forming the next government at the centre and it should be led by Rahul Gandhi, Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaswamy said.

The results for three Lok Sabha and two assembly constituencies in Karnataka that went to the bypolls on Saturday will be declared today.

The Congress's partnership with the Janata Dal Secular won it one more seat in Karnataka today. The party snatched the Jayanagar constituency from the BJP by a wafer-thin margin.

Undeterred by failure in its electoral ventures in Gujarat and Karnataka, the Samajwadi Party is all geared up to contest all 230 seats in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly polls scheduled later this year.

A 20-minute emotional speech by BJP's BS Yeddyurappa at the Karnataka assembly ended with him quitting as the chief minister, just two days after he was sworn in. The BJP, which won 104 of the 222 seats for which polling was held, were eight seats short of majority. The Congress and JDS combine claimed the support of 117 lawmakers. The Supreme Cour...
