High-stakes Karnataka elections: BJP vs Congress

The BJP is in a fighting position in the Karnataka Assembly polls, with a key leader saying the party may not be far from the 100-seat mark but will be short of a full majority of 113 in the 224-member legislative assembly. Facing anti-incumbency, allegations of corruption, and the exit of a few leaders from the party’s main caste base Lingayats, the BJP has retrieved its position to some extent to fight the challenge mounted by the Congress and Janata Dal (Secular) in the elections.
