Following the June 1 exit polls, there has been a surge in betting on BJP candidates in Haveri and Davanagere in Karnataka. Bookies are now backing BJP candidates Basavaraj Bommai and Gayatri Siddeshwar. Despite the illegal nature of betting, these activities are thriving across the parliamentary constituencies. The exit poll results have shifted the focus from Congress candidates to BJP candidates, with BJP workers and leaders now ready to accept bets against Congress candidates.
