With the stage set for the election results on May 13, the outcome would determine the course of governance and ideology for the state, as the battle between the Congress and BJP continued to captivate the nation.
Former Karnataka CM and senior BJP leader, BS Yediyurappa, exuded confidence in his party’s victory, urging people to cast their votes early. He declared that the majority of voters would support the BJP, with the party poised to win 130-135 seats. Yediyurappa’s assertion showcased the party’s determination to secure a substantial mandate.
The election campaign took an intense turn when the Bajrang Dal-Bajrang Bali row became a topic of contention. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman criticized the Congress for invoking the name of Lord Hanuman during the elections, referring to it as an “example of stupidity”. Sitharaman emphasized the BJP’s longstanding devotion to Hanuman and denounced the politicization of religious sentiments.
