NEW DELHI: Ahead of the counting for Karnataka elections, the National Spokesperson of the Bharatiya Janata Party Shahnawaz Hussain on Tuesday said that trends are with BJP and he is sure of victory. Shahnawaz claimed that the party will win more than 130 seats in the state. He further added, "It is time for the INC to go out and BJP government will be in power." In one of the most high-profile and bitterly fought elections in recent times, 222 of the 224 seats went to polls on May 12. The Counting of votes would begin at 8 am in nearly 40 counting centres. A victory for the BJP will reflect the enduring charisma of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his capacity to power his party to victory across the country, clearing demographic and topographical obstacles. In case of a clear verdict in favour of the Congress, the grand old party will have broken the jinx of no political party retaining the reins of the state since 1985, when the erstwhile Janata Dal formed the government under Ramakrishna Hegde for a second consecutive term.
