Answer 1

An election was held in Karnataka on 12 May 2018 in 222 constituencies out of 224 of theKarnataka Legislative Assembly. Election has been postponed in one constituency following the death of B.N. Vijay Kumar, Jayanagar BJP candidate and other constituency following seizure of around 10,000 voter identity cards. The counting of votes and announcement of result will take place on 15th May 2018. The two opposition parties, Bharatiya Janata Party(42 seats)[1] and Janta Dal (S) (29 seats),[1]along with their allies, will take on the incumbent Indian National Congress (119 seats)[1], while Aam Aadmi Party will mark its debut in the state.[2] The Bahujan Samaj Partymade an alliance with the JD(S) and decided to contest 20 of the 224 seats. The majority of opinion polls have predicted a narrow lead for the Congress, however the BJP is expected to give a tight fight.
