After a fierce electoral contest between the BJP, Congress and JD(S), the counting of votes for the 224-member Karnataka assembly is being held today. The results will seal the fate of several heavyweights, including chief minister Basavaraj Bommai of the BJP, Congress stalwarts Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar and JD(S)'s HD Kumaraswamy. Today's results will be crucial for both the ruling BJP, the opposition Congress and the regional outfit JD(S). For BJP, a victory in the state will affirm its electoral dominance across the country and ensure that it maintains its presence in southern India, where it is trying to expand its footprint aggressively. On the other hand, the Congress is seeking a much-needed revival ahead of key electoral contests lined up later this year and the ultimate Lok Sabha battle in 2024. Meanwhile, the JD(S) is fighting to maintain its relevance in Karnataka since it is losing its support base to both Congress and BJP.
