Bharatiya Janata Party's chief ministerial candidate in Karnataka B S Yeddyurppa says a day after voting that his party will win more than 125-130 seats in the state.

"The Congress will not be able to cross 70 seats and the JD-S (Janata Dal-Secular) will not cross 24-25 seats. There is a silent and strong wave in favour of the BJP and public anger against (Chief Minister) Siddaramaiah and the Congress," Yeddyurappa said.

"He (Prime Minister Narendra Modi) is in touch with me and (party president) Amit Shah. Everybody is confident of winning with absolute majority. We are 100 per cent sure of forming the government on May 17," he said.

Indicating a tight race between the BJP and the Congress, most exit polls for the Karnataka assembly elections on Saturday forecast a hung assembly with the JD-S likely to play the kingmaker, but were divided on which of the two national parties will emerge as the largest in the House.  -- ANI, PTI
