Karnataka exit poll: In the build-up to the Karnataka State Assembly Elections, Team TFI conducted extensive and in-depth discussions with citizens across 163 out of the 225 total seats. These candid conversations were intentionally informal, aimed at bringing out genuine opinions, held without any recording devices to put the respondents at ease. A concerted effort was made to ensure that all caste and religious groups were covered, including Hindus, Muslims, and Christians, along with various castes such as Lingayat, Vokkaligas, Kurubas, Dhangars, Brahmins, Konkani, Koli, OBCs, SCs, and STs.
Our findings, conducted in the format of an exit poll, are presented below region-wise:
Greater Bengaluru Region
In the pulsating heart of the state, the Greater Bengaluru region, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) seems to hold sway. Our Karnataka exit poll suggests that BJP is likely to secure a significant majority, winning between 20 and 23 seats. The Congress, on the other hand, trails behind with an estimated seat share ranging from 9 to 11.
Old Mysore Region
The Old Mysore Region tells a more competitive tale. The Congress, the Janata Dal (Secular), and the BJP all are vying for dominance. Our findings suggest that Congress could win between 10-16 seats, JD(S) stands to secure 12-18 seats, while the BJP can expect to win between 12-21 seats.
Central Karnataka Region
In the Central Karnataka Region, the BJP continues to lead the pack, with the exit poll predicting a win between 14-20 seats. The Congress could secure 8-12 seats. The JD(S) seems to lag behind in this region, with a predicted win of a meager 0-3 seats.
Coastal Karnataka Region
The Coastal Karnataka region is another stronghold for the BJP. The exit poll anticipates the party to win between 15 and 19 seats. The Congress, however, falls short and is projected to come in second with 2-6 seats.
Hyderabad-Karnataka Region
In the Hyderabad-Karnataka region, the Congress seems to be in the lead, albeit marginally. Our exit poll suggests that Congress may edge past BJP and secure between 13-17 seats. The BJP, on the other hand, will have to settle with 11-15 seats.
Mumbai-Karnataka Region
The Mumbai-Karnataka region emerges as the BJP’s bastion. According to our exit poll, the BJP is expected to bag between 30 and 34 seats. The Congress, once again, lags behind and is expected to secure 10-16 seats.
So the overall prediction is:
BJP: 132+/-20
CON: 65 +/-20
JDS: 28 +/- 20
While these results offer a glimpse of the possible outcomes, it is important to remember that they are based on exit polls, which are not always accurate. The actual results could still spring surprises, as voters’ behavior often varies from poll predictions. However, these exit poll figures do provide a broad sense of the likely trends and the overall political mood across Karnataka.
As we await the final verdict, it will be interesting to see how closely these predictions mirror the actual results, and whether the parties will have to recalibrate their strategies based on the outcome. In a democracy, the will of the people is supreme, and the upcoming results will once again underline this cardinal principle.
