Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy had recently blamed the BJP for casting a shadow over the secular credentials of the JD(S). However, if this election is any indicator, the tie-up has not affected the parties’ votebank.
Kumaraswamy, meanwhile, attributed the JD(S) success to the support expressed by the women and the minority voters in the state.
An analysis of the results show that the JD(S) has made inroads in Bangalore, Old Mysore province, Hyderabad-Karnataka and the plains, while the BJP has done better in Malnad, coastal and Mumbai-Karnataka regions.
