Sources from Bengaluru stated that the BJP has taken a huge lead in the national election in Karnataka over the Congress and Janata Dal Secular alliance, which took power in the state exactly a year ago. Reportedly the BJP was ahead in 23 of the state's 28 Lok Sabha seats and the Congress and JDS was ahead in only five in early leads.
Furthermore among the prominent candidates, Tejasvi Surya of the BJP is leading from Bangalore south constituency against the Congress's B.K Hariprasad. Meanwhile the JDS-Congress coalition appeared to be heading for a disastrous showing in the state after months of internal bickering and strain.
Moreover the alliance accused the BJP of constantly trying to destabilize it by trying to engineer defections. Reportedly two days ago, Congress leader roshan Baig ripped into his party leadership in Karnataka, calling them "buffoons" and a "flop show". Apparently the two parties have struggled to keep the coalition afloat. Moreover some in the Congress accuse the JDS of prepping to switch sides to the BJP.
