Karnataka Assembly Elections 2023
Assembly elections for the 224-member Karnataka House was held on 10 May 2023 and the results will be declared on 13 May 2023. Karnataka is the only southern state where the BJP is in power. The upcoming polls will mainly see a fight between the ruling BJP and the Congress, with JD(S) likely to be the third player. The opposition Congress is hoping to take advantage of the fissures in the Lingayat community that traditionally votes for the BJP. Lingayats are the single-largest community in Karnataka, accounting for nearly 17% of the electorate. The Aam Aadmi Party has said it will also contest on all seats. It remains to be seen whether the Arvind Kejriwal party's decision to step into the fray will dent the prospects of either BJP or Congress.Karnataka Election Results 2023 Live Updates...More
