Speaking to CNN-News18 on the exit poll results, BJP leader and former Karnataka chief minister BS Yediyurappa said, "Let us wait for the counting. BJP will get absolute majority.

Lingayat community is happy with BJP."

The State is mainly witnessing a three-way contest between the ruling BJP, the Congress and former prime minister HD Deve Gowda’s Janata Dal (Secular).

Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi too appealed to the people of Karnataka to vote in large numbers to build a progressive and a “40-per-cent-commission-free” state.
