Karnataka Council elections: Will cross-voting affect BJP-JD(S) alliance?
Cross-voting in the Karnataka Legislative Council elections has raised concerns about the BJP-JD(S) alliance, with differing claims over vote transfers. The BJP allocated three of its votes to the JD(S), but the party alleges that these votes were transferred to the Congress, while the JD(S) claims their four MLAs cross-voted. The incident has fueled disgruntlement within the BJP and may impact future alliances. However, a senior JD(S) leader maintains that this should not disrupt the alliance.
