In an ‘equal fight’ in LS polls in State, Congress enjoys edge due to women voters, claims Eedina.com chief

Bharatiya Janata Party Lok Sabha Karnataka Krishna Prasad

In an “equal fight” between the Congress and BJP in the recently-held Lok Sabha elections in Karnataka, Congress enjoys an edge because of the women voters, claimed editor of web portal Eedina.com H.V. Vasu.

Participating in a discussion on ‘Elections 2024 – Prospects and Perspectives’ organised by Mysore Open Forum here on Sunday, Dr. Vasu said their pre-poll surveys had shown that Congress tally could not only range from 13 to 22 seats out of the 28 seats in Karnataka, but also come down 9 or go up to as high as 26 seats for various reasons.

The recent elections in Karnataka were so “close” that even 1% swing of votes could give either party a “landslide” win.
