Siddaramaiah trailing from Chamundeshwari seat

May 15, 2018 08:37

Early leads, but Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is currently trailing from the Chamundeshwari seat. The counting in Badami seat, the second constituency that the CM is contesting from, is yet to begin.

A day after exit polls predicted a hung assembly in Karnataka, chief minister Siddaramaiah created ripples by stating that he was ready to step aside if the party leadership wished to replace him with a Dalit.

The forecast of a fractured verdict has raised the possibility of the Janata Dal (S) garnering enough seats for H D Deve Gowda to play king-maker.
Siddaramaiah's statement triggered speculation that Congress is anticipating a fractured verdict and is playing the Dalit card to negotiate a post-poll tie up with the JD(S).
