The Karnataka Assembly elections of 2023 have reached their conclusion, and the fate of all constituencies is now in the hands of the Election Commission of India. In these tightly contested assembly elections, the battle has been closely fought between the incumbent Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress (Congress) party, with the Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) party emerging as a strong regional player in the state.
According to the official reports of the Election Commission of India, Karnataka recorded a 73.19% voter turnout—the highest-ever voter turnout in the southern state ever. The long queues at polling booths on 10 May 2023 (Wednesday) signify the citizens’ enthusiasm to choose their next state government. The voters have turned out in large numbers, indicating their accountability and belief in democracy.
Incumbent Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has exuded confidence in BJP’s return to power, while Congress has said that BJP’s defeat in Karnataka will open Delhi’s door for Congress in 2024. The grand-old party strived to break the 38-year-old pattern of alternating governments and retain its power in the state. Four exit polls have given Congress a full majority, and some have predicted a hung assembly with an advantage to the party, while a few exit polls also suggest that BJP is ahead and is likely to form the government.
If Karnataka throws up a hung assembly, the JD-S could emerge as the kingmaker. JD-S President HD Kumaraswamy had earlier announced that his party would support whosoever promises agricultural reforms and regards the Constitution as supreme.
