The high-stakes Karnataka Assembly Elections began with a bang on 5th May 2013. The campaigning for polls in Karnataka was strong, as major political parties had brought in their A-listers to woe in maximum number of voters via rallies and visits for the polls.
A total of 2,940 candidates were in the fight for the 223 seats in the 224-member House and 50,446 polling stations were put up for the 4.18 crore voters in Karnataka. Polls for one seat of Piriyapatna constituency were postponed till 28th May 2013 due to the death of the BJP candidate.
The election votes were counted on 8th May 2013 and the outcome resulted in the victory of Congress and a crushing defeat of BJP. The Congress won 121 seats, BJP and JDS won 40 seats each, KJP won 6 seats and other parties won 16 seats.
