Major parties in the fray

The BJP is currently in power in Karnataka under the leadership of chief minister Basavaraj Bommai. It has 119 MLAs in the 224-member Karnataka assembly.

The Congress is one of the main players in Karnataka politics. In the previous elections, Congress won 80 seats and formed a coalition government with JD(S) which collapsed after a year. Presently, it is the main opposition party in the state.

The Janata Dal (Secular), or JD(S), is a regional political party in Karnataka. It was founded in 1999 and has been a major player in Karnataka politics since then.

A party needs to win at least 113 seats to form a government in Karnataka. Of the total 224 seats, 36 seats are reserved for scheduled castes and 15 for scheduled tribes. Currently, the BJP has 119 MLAs, the Congress has 75 and the JD(S) has 28 seats.
