A common sight after any elections is the exit polls run by verious analysts and media houses to keep their viewers engaged and pass the time till the actual announcements of the results. This time, exit polls across various television channels, have predicted a possible hung Assembly. With each party making their own predictions and claiming victory before the ink has dried, JD(S) supremo and former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda too, added his party in the winners’ list.
Stating that the reality would be known only on May 15, the former Prime Minister said that he would neither accept nor reject anything till the results are announced.
Confident that his party did well, he said that the JD(S) would form the next government in Karnataka. Some political analysts have predicted that the JD(S) will come out on top. Although prominent members have rubbished rumours of the JD(S) and BJP parties joining hands, some still consider that a tie up between the two is still a possibility.
Both the Congress and the BJP have, during the campaign, accused the other of having secretly planned a tie up with the JD(S). What is known for sure however, is that the JD(S) and the BSP have joined hands.
