With only two weeks left before the polls, the results seem to be in a dead heat, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress (INC) neck and neck in various regions.

Dr. Reddy’s consolidated numbers for the 224-seat assembly predict a slight decline for the BJP, with the party securing 101 seats (-3) compared to the 2018 elections. The INC is expected to see a marginal improvement with 88 seats (+8), while the Janata Dal (Secular) or JDS is predicted to win 34 seats (-3) and others 1 seat (-2).

Coastal Karnataka Region

In the Coastal Karnataka region, which has a total of 21 seats, the BJP is expected to win 17 seats (-1), the INC will likely retain its 3 seats, and other parties may secure 1 seat (+1). For the Madikeri District, with two seats up for grabs, Dr. Reddy predicts no surprises, with the BJP winning both seats. However, he suggests the party may need to change its candidates in the next election.

Dakshina Kannada Region

In the Dakshina Kannada District, which has eight seats, the BJP is predicted to win six seats (-1), the INC will maintain its single seat, and other parties will win one seat (+1). Dr. Reddy points out that the BJP’s miscalculation in Puttur might end up handing the seat to the Congress, but as of now, a BJP rebel maintains a very thin edge.

Udupi Region

Udupi District, with five seats, is expected to see the BJP win four seats (-1) and the INC win one seat (+1). Meanwhile, in the Uttara Kannada District, the BJP is predicted to secure five seats (+1), with the Congress leading with a thin margin in Haliyal.

Bengaluru Urban Region

In Bengaluru Urban District, with 28 seats, the BJP is expected to win 14 seats (+3), the INC 13 seats (-2), and the JDS 1 seat (-1). Dr. Reddy notes that civic governance issues are hurting the BJP in some pockets of the city.

North, Central Karnataka, & Old Mysore Regions

The North, Central Karnataka, and Old Mysore regions are predicted to have the BJP win 70 seats (-5), the INC 72 seats (+10), the JDS 33 seats (-2), and other parties no seats (-3).

Kitturu Karnataka Region

In the Kitturu Karnataka Region, which has 50 seats, the BJP is predicted to win 30 seats, the INC 20 seats (+3), the JDS no seats (-2), and other parties no seats (-1). Dr. Reddy emphasizes that this region is crucial for the BJP if it wants to retain power.

In summary, the upcoming 2023 Karnataka Assembly Elections are expected to be a closely contested battle, with the BJP and INC going neck and neck in various regions. The results will likely be determined by the outcome in approximately 20 seats where there is a dead heat. While the Congress is predicted to see a marginal improvement in prospects, the BJP is still expected to retain a majority of its current seats. As the elections draw closer, the final outcome will depend on the parties’ ability to navigate the complexities of regional politics and address local concerns.
