The Muslim reservation issue has become a big one in the Karnataka elections. The BJP government had scrapped the four per cent reservation quota for the Muslims and divided it equally between the Vokkaligas and Lingayats, the two most dominant communities in the poll bound state of Karnataka.
Karnataka s main regional party Janata Dal-Secular (JDS) recently surprised many after extending its support to seven candidates of other parties, including Congress candidate Darshan Dhruvanarayana in Nanjangud, in the upcoming Assembly elections.
Former Chief Minister and JDS Legislature Party Leader HD Kumaraswamy announced yet another promise to voters ahead of the May 10 assembly elections in Karnataka.
