bjp in karnataka

Bharatiya Janata Party is one of the most prominent parties of India and currently forms the central government. The party formed the government in the Karnataka just once since the Legislative Assembly Elections started in 1952.

It was believed that the internal differences in BJP had played a huge role in Congress getting the majority in 2013 Assembly Elections. Back then, B. S. Yeddyurappa, the most senior leader in Karnataka BJP, had split from the party to form a new one, Karnataka Janata Dal (KJP). Due to this the vote bank of the party was divided.

But as of 2018, Yeddyurappa is back with the BJP and the party’s vote bank appears to be consolidated once again. After the 2018 Legislative Assembly of Karnataka, BJP emerged as the single largest party, with 104 seats, but failing to win a majority of seats.
