As expected by many, and as predicted by several exit poll surveys, the Congress party has started to take a clear lead in the Karnataka elections.
The counting for Karnataka assembly elections are going on now and the Congress party has started to take a clear lead in the same by leading in over 120 assembly constituencies.
The magic figure is 113 MLA seats which is needed to form the government and the Congress has started to breach the same. The party can well form the government on its own without any alliances, unlike what happened in the last term.
Congress seniors Siddharamayya and DK Sivakumar have started celebration at the party offices across Karnataka. BJP faced a shocking defeat in Karnataka with many ministers who served in the previous cabinet failing to win their own MLA seats this term.
