Amit Shah
BJP chief Amit Shah on Sunday expressed confidence that the party would form the next government in Karnataka. His statement comes a day after the polling for high-stake assembly polls in the southern state indicated a tight contest between the saffron party and the Congress.
Most of the post-poll surveys have predicted the BJP to emerge as the single largest party in Karnataka, with the JD(S) of former prime minister H D Devegowda likely to emerge as the kingmaker.
"The BJP will form the government in Karnataka on May 15 evening after the results," Shah said while addressing a gathering of around 15,000 BJP workers at Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Stadium near Panaji.
