Prediction but some kind of insight from all of your conversations and everything you're hearing from the ground about how these are likely to play out come election day, that'd be really nice to hear. So I'd be grateful if you could give us your read about the Karnataka elections in about five minutes. And once again, thank you so much for joining us today on swell

Hi. Good to be on this. I'm sharan. sharan sharan poovanna, Associate Editor Print. Print. Yes, we did interview Mr. sidra maya a couple of days ago and like all leaders in most parties, he is also playing down the fight, the supposed fight between Dikeshukumar and and himself for the post of chief minister. This is not very new, but it seems to be a bigger problem with each election

So regarding the issues that's going to be probably prevalent in Karnataka, of course, as the Congress, as challengers to the BJP, and probably one of the few states in which they continue to have quite a dominating presence in karnataka. They're, of course they are taking quite a few platforms or issues in all order to sort of secure the trust of the voters. And this sort of issues, these issues are sort of interlinked with each other

So as to say as that the person that they have as a legislator from this place is actually a formerly JDS legislator who defected to the BJP. So organically, they've not had a leader win from this place. They've also backed Sumalatha Ambrish who was an independent candidate in the 2019 Lukasa by elections. So no representative of their own, but this time around it's going to be their representative and they want the vocalyga's support. But will they be able to get it?
