BJP, Cong rule out JD(S) alliance as no majority predicted
The BJP and Congress have ruled out the possibility of a post-poll alliance with JD(S) in the Karnataka Assembly elections, ahead of the vote counting scheduled on Tuesday. Most exit polls conducted on Saturday predicted a Hung Assembly in the 224-constituency state, suggesting that the JD(S) will be the 'kingmaker'. JD(S) said it expects to form the government.
