Most exit polls have given Congress an edge or a clear majority in the 224-member Karnataka Assembly elections even as some have predicted a hung House. Karnataka BJP spokesperson M G Mahesh, however, said 'the situation (of a hung Assembly) will not arise' as the BJP would bag enough seats.
Karnataka Assembly Elections 2023: Most exit polls in Karnataka have predicted a hung assembly, giving the Congress an edge over the BJP. It’s very similar to what happened in 2018 when the surveys had projected a similar situation but had then given the saffron party the advantage. How accurate were pollsters then? And what can we expect now?
