The results of the Karnataka Assembly Elections have been announced, and both the BJP and the Congress have been putting in efforts to form the government in the state. Posters of former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who is considered a frontrunner for the post of Chief Minister, have emerged ahead of a crucial Congress meeting to select the party’s next leader in the state.
As per the latest reports, the BJP has won the Jayanagar Assembly constituency in Bengaluru by 16 votes. The BJP candidate, BN Prahlad, has defeated Congress’ Sowmya Reddy, the daughter of former Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy. The Jayanagar seat was held by BJP’s B.N. Vijayakumar who passed away last year.
Meanwhile, the Congress and JD(S) are still in talks to form a coalition government in Karnataka. Both parties had contested the elections separately but have come together after the results to keep the BJP out of power. Reports suggest that Congress’ G. Parameshwara is likely to be appointed as the Deputy Chief Minister, while JD(S) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy could be the Chief Minister.
However, there are also reports of a possible rift within the Congress party as some leaders have opposed the idea of appointing Siddaramaiah as the next Chief Minister. They believe that someone from the Lingayat community should be appointed as the Chief Minister to appease the community, which forms a significant vote bank in the state.
As the political drama unfolds in Karnataka, all eyes are on the Congress party meeting, which is scheduled to take place soon. The party’s decision will have a significant impact on the state’s political future.
