BJP had wrested fort from Congress in the 2018 Karnataka assembly election but fell short of the majority. It won 104 seats last time around in the state assembly election and is projected to bag in the range of 68 to 80 assembly seats as per the ABP News-CVoter Karnataka Opinion Poll 2023.
Congress will gain major ground as they are swinging in between the 115 to 127 seat range for the 2023 Karnataka assembly polls as per the ABP News-CVoter Survey.
