Two hours into the counting of votes for Karnataka assembly election, the Janata Dal (Secular), which was being seen as a possible kingmaker in the event of a hung verdict, appears to have taken a big hit in its vote share

The BJP lost its only bastion in the south today, with the Congress winning 137 of the state's 244 seats -- a record in terms of both seats and vote share in 30-plus years. The BJP won 65 and HD Kumaraswamy's JD(S) 19 seats.
