Karnataka recorded a voter turnout of 70 per cent on Saturday in a closely-fought three-cornered battle between the ruling Congress, JD(S) and the BJP. Polling was held in 222 of 224 assembly constituencies in the state and voters in remaining two constituencies will cast their vote on May 28. Exit polls suggest a cliffhanger in the state and according to NDTV poll of exit polls, the BJP will emerge as the single largest party and JD(S) is likely to play the kingmaker.
Following a bitter war of words during the election campaign, the polling day also saw top leaders making some sharp attacks at the opponents including Chief Minister Siddaramaiah who called BJP's chief ministerial candidate BS Yeddyurappa "mentally distubed". The results for the Karnataka assembly elections 2018 will be announced on Tuesday.
