For the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has done remarkably well,
raising its vote share from 20 per cent in 2013 to 36.2 per cent and its
seats tally from 40 to 104, the fact of the matter is that it has
fallen tantalisingly short of the majority mark of 113 seats
Congress has managed 37.9 per cent of the vote, against 36.3 per cent in 2013, its seats have dropped from 122 to 78. The Siddaramaiah government’s failings in addressing rural distress came to the fore
Janata Dal (Secular), having secured 38 seats, may have benefited from the neglect of rural issues as well as the nativist overtones of the campaign.
The hung verdict in the Karnataka assembly elections has delivered a subtle set of messages to all actors in the fray
In keeping with the SR Bommai vs Union of India judgment, the Governor is bound to invite the BJP, the single largest party, to establish majority on the floor of the House. If the BJP fails to do so, the Congress and the Janata Dal (Secular), which seem to have entered into an understanding, can stake a claim to form the government. The Bommai rule was not observed when the Congress was the single largest party in Manipur and Goa.
It also states that if any situation arises whereby the Governor is by or under Constitution required to act in his discretion, the decision taken by him shall be final and that the validity of anything done by the Governor must not be called in question.
