Karnataka Elections 2023: Voting is underway in Karnataka days after electrifying campaigning by political parties to make their space in the southern state. Now, former CM BS Yediyurappa's son and BJP candidate from Shikaripur constituency, BY Vijayendra, said that PM Narendra Modi's magic will give the party an 'absolute majority' in the polls. He claimed that BJP will get at least 130 seats in the election.

"Modi's magic will give us absolute majority. We will win at least 130 seats in this election. Not only Lingayat community, but all other castes are also with BJP. Congress will lose the election very badly," he said.

He added, "This is my first election and I am happy that the party gave me the opportunity to contest. I'm blessed to contest from the Shikaripura seat. People are fed up with hung assembly and I am confident that BJP will get majority."
