The recent surveys on Karnataka polls have brought some cheer to the BJP. Intially the party was written off and most estimates said that the party would be handed out a decisive defeat at the hustings. But, the latest surveys have shown that even if there is a defeat, it would not be a harsh one.
What more? The Congress too may not win the absolute majority. But, the BJP would be a close second. As per most surveys, the BJP would not get results like it got in 2013, when it was limited to 40 seats. Recently survey by People's Pulse says that the BJP and the Congress will have a close race.
Another key aspect of the survey is that youth and the educated class are strongly with the BJP. The BjP may lose out among the women and the elderly. Even among the elderly, the BJP performance may not be altogether bad. Also, the survey has also indicated that the BJP's overall voting percentage is likely to go up by 2 per cent.
Earlier surveys have predicted a washout for the BJP. However, the recent surveys are predicting that the fight could be close and that the Congress might end up with only a slight edge. These surveys claim that the Janata Dal Secular could emerge as the kingmaker in the upcoming elections by getting around 20 seats.
