Karnataka Exit Polls

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Congress leader DK Shivakumar said on Sunday that the exit polls would go wrong like they did during the state assembly elections last year.

The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will win a much higher number of seats in Karnataka in the Lok Sabha election, according to exit polls.

No Congress leader can be "poached", Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar told NDTV Friday, a day after exit polls gave the party a win over the BRS in the Telangana election and a shot at defeating the BJP in Madhya Pradesh.

On the question of the BJP's move in the case of a hung assembly, Mr. Gowda said the party will decide only after the result is announced.

Most exit polls have given an edge to the Congress over the ruling BJP, while also indicating the possibility of a hung Assembly in the state.

D K Shivakumar on Friday junked exit poll results in which party, though it gains the highest number of seats, has to contend with a hung Assembly. He insisted that the party will win at least 141 seats and form a majority government.

HD Kumaraswamy's Janata Dal Secular said on Thursday that they have received feelers from both Congress and the BJP as most exit polls predicted a hung assembly in Karnataka.

Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Thursday expressed gratitude to the party workers for working relentlessly during the election campaign and hoped that their struggle will "definitely bear fruit", as the exit polls gave an edge to the grand old party.

After the exit polls predicted Congress's edge over the BJP in Karnataka polls, Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel on Wednesday hoped that the BJP will learn a lesson on May 13, the day on which the results of Karnataka Assembly polls will be declared.

Despite the exit poll results which gave the edge to the Congress, the BJP was set to win with an absolute majority, he said.

Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has expressed confidence the ruling BJP will retain power with an absolute majority, dismissing exit poll predictions that indicated a close race between the Congress and the BJP.

Exit polls gave the Congress a clear edge, with four of them giving it a full majority and some predicting a hung assembly with an advantage to the party.

Karnataka is heading for a hung assembly, seven of 10 exit polls have predicted. Two have predicted an outright victory for the Congress and one for the BJP.

A hung house in Karnataka? Five of 10 exit polls have predicted so, however the majority of them have given a slight edge to the Congress.. The predictions also indicate that HD Kumaraswamy's Janata Dal Secular is likely to play kingmaker.

Arvind Bellad, the Karnataka BJP MLA from Hubballi-Dharwad West, has told NDTV that the exit of former Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar from the BJP just weeks before the assembly election will not affect the party's performance.
