New Delhi: The fate of Karnataka's state politics will be decided on May 15. However as per the exit polls conducted by major channels, BJP is likely to win majority of seats in this election.   Karnataka's incumbent Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has however dismissed all the exit polls and displayed confidence of forming government in Karnataka again. He tweeted, “Exit opinion polls are entertainment for the next 2 days Relying on poll of polls is like a person who can’t swim crossing a river on foot relying on a statistician who told him the average depth of the river is 4 feet Please note average of 6+4+2 is 4. At 6 feet you drown! So, Dear party workers, supporters & well wishers, don’t worry about exit polls. Relax & enjoy your weekend. We are coming back.”

BJP spokesman Sudhanshu Trivedi said, " At least one thing is evident from the trends so far, that BJP has gained seats as against 40 seats last time, while Congress that won majority of seats last time, has lost seats this time. So far it has been seen that people’s mandate goes to the party in whose favour the trends are.”
