Finally the day has been decided when Karnataka State will go into Polls for the Assembly elections.  Karnataka State Election will be first big election before 2014 election of Lok Sabha.  This will also let us know what is the mood of India citizens and are they looking for change.

With BJP only state, where they had formed Government in South India.  It will be big fight for them to get back to power, as they have lost the local bodies elections few days ago.  BJP is also in crisis with B S Yeddyurappa starting up his own party after parting away from BJP called “Karnataka Janta Party”.   BJP will need to fight battle with Congress and KJP in order to come back into power.

With Congress facing many allegation in the centre, will that reflect in general assembly election in Karnataka, as this is one state where everyone keeps an eye on the happenings in the Central.  Congress, however, has an upper hand in these assembly election with increasing the seats (winning) in local body election.  Also with B S Yeddyurapppa parting away from BJP. However, Congress will also need to fight with one of their minister who has parted away and formed a new party called BSR Congress (B Sri Ramulu Congress Party).

JD( U ), CPI, Samajwadi Party and BSP will also play an important role in this election, as there are equal chance of no party get the required majority in the state elections.

Karnataka will go in Polling on May 5 and counting of votes will start on May 8. 

The Congress will count on a victory in Karnataka to enthuse party workers ahead of the next major round of assembly polls in other states in India.
