It was a bitterly fought election. A campaign full of rhetoric from all sides, a random pre-poll move to divide the Lingayat vote bank which seems to have failed miserably, a carpet-bombing advertisement spree, a premature celebration which has now turned into a dank meme, a dark horse regional party doing much better than predicted and then, finally, a surprise result!
But if you think the pre-election period was bonkers, what has happened since the election results came out in the past two days is just plain mind-boggling.
