Out of the total 224 seats in Karnataka Assembly, results of 222 that went for polls, are on the board. Election was cancelled in two constituencies.
While BJP has claimed 104 seats with 46.9% vote share, INC could beg only 78 with 34.4% vote share. JD(S), now a post poll ally of Congress, secured 38 seats with 16.5% vote share. Independents and others were squeezed at 2 seats and 1.3% votes in total.
Results are not unexpected as many pre-poll surveys have predicted the same in closest approximation, beforehand.
BJP is a big gainer in the poll fray. It has recorded a big jump in its seat share from 40 in 2013 to 104 in 2018, i.e. a whopping rise of 64 seats. Congress is loser from 122 to 78. JD (S) is also at loss of 2 seats, from 40 to 38. Other parties including the independents that secured 22 seats in 2013, stand marginalized at 2, this time.
