With votes in EVMs for 14 out of 28 constituencies, focus now shifts to North Karnataka for May 7 polls

The Hindu  

With the high-pitched battles in the South Karnataka’s Vokkaliga-dominated Old Mysore constituencies and the coastal constituencies coming to an end on Friday, the battleground will now shift to North and Central Karnataka regions that will go into polling on May 7 as part of the third phase. What parties claim Of the 14 constituencies in South Karnataka that went into polls, the Congress would win 10 seats, up from one in 2019, party president and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. He also claimed that the Congress would win another 10 seats out of 14 in North Karnataka, echoing similar sentiments aired by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who said that there was no “Modi wave.” Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashok claimed that the NDA would win 12 out of 14 seats based on the “image of Narendra Modi” and failure of the Congress government in Karnataka. Like in South Karnataka, where the Congress seems to have succeeded in driving home the guarantee narratives among large number of caste groups and the economically weaker sections as a challenge to the BJP’s election strategy of pushing the Mr. Modi’s Hindutva and development agenda, the parties are likely to up the ante on similar lines in the North Karnataka too.
