As predicted, Congress has won a comfortable majority in Karnataka Assembly elections. Congress has crossed the magic figure 113 by winning 121 seats out of 223 seats in the house. BJP has paid very dearly for its mistakes, ignorance and mishandling the party and government in the state. It has just won 40 seats. JD(S) led by Kumara Swamy is also made a fair show by winning 39 seats. But, it is former CM Of the state Yedurappa, who had a humiliating defeat in the hands of Karnataka people. His KJP has just won 6 seats only. Independents have won total 17 seats in this election. Would the Congress fall short of the majority, certainly they would have played key role as King Makers. However, they can still extend their support to Congress party and cling to it until their turn comes as the political situation in the state is always used to uncertain.
