Congress emerges victorious in Karnataka state elections, dealing blow to Modi's BJP.
The counting of votes for the Karnataka Assembly elections, which took place on May 10, has begun. The BJP and Congress are in a fierce contest, with the possibility of a hung assembly. The JD(S) is expecting to play a role in government formation in the event of a hung verdict. Most exit polls have given an edge to the Congress, while also indicating the possibility of a hung assembly. The BJP is looking to break a 38-year-old poll jinx, while the Congress is hoping for a morale booster victory.
