Karnataka is central to the BJP's plans to make deeper inroads into the states of south India. It was in Karnataka that the BJP tasted victory for the first time in south, when BS Yediyurappa snatched power sans crossing the magic numbers.
Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar's brother and MP D K Suresh lost from Bangalore South while former Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai emerged victorious from Haveri.
In May 2023, the Congress came into power in the state under the leadership of chief minister Siddaramaiah and his Deputy DK Shivakumar. In the 224-member House, the Congress has 135 MLAs and the backing of two others while the BJP was limited to 67 seats. The saffron camp was humbled even at its traditional bastions in Central and North Karnataka

But since 2004, when the Grand Old Party won 18 of the 28 seats, the Congress has never managed to cross the two-digit mark. In 2019, BJP won 25 of the 27 seats it contested, while the Janata Dal (S) and the Congress managed just one each. The BJP claimed 52% of total votes polled in Karnataka while Congress got only 31.3%.

What did Exit Polls say about Karnataka Lok Sabha results:
Most exit polls said that the state is likely to be dominated by the BJP. The pollsters have predicted NDA getting 20 to 25 seats while the INDIA bloc winning 2 to 7 seats. However, KPCC chief DK Shivakumar on Sunday reiterated that the exit polls would go wrong like they did during the Karnataka Assembly elections last year. DK pointed out that Exit polls had predicted that the Congress party would not come to power during the last Assembly elections, but they were wrong.
