Bengaluru: As the counting begins for the Karnataka Assembly elections on Saturday, JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy said that he has not been contacted as yet for the formation of the government in case of a cliffhanger.
Speaking to the media ahead of the counting, Kumaraswamy cited the exit polls which predicted nearly 30-32 seats to JD(S) and a clear edge to the Congress party with some even predicting a majority for the grand old party and said that according to the predictions, there is no need for him to explore options.
He said “In the next 2-3 hours, it will become clear. Exit polls show that the two national parties will score in a big way. The polls have given 30-32 seats to JD(S). I am a small party, there is no demand for me…I am hoping for a good development,”.
“No one has contacted me till now. Let us see the final results first. According to the exit polls, there is no need for options. Let us see,” the JD(S) leader added.
Counting for the Assembly polls began at 8 am that will decide the fate of 2,615 candidates across parties.
