    Ever since BJP threatened BSP with case against Mayavati for having "Disproportionate Assets" , Mayavati has unintentionally become mole of BJP. Her only purpose of fighting election seems to be dividing the votes that ultimately favours BJP. This was clearly evident when she made 100 Muslim canditates to contest in UP elections in the constituencies where there was no chance for their victory. Now in Karnataka also her only purpose is to serve BJP. JDS is also helping them as usual.

    BSP, JD(S) and AIMIM have colluded with BJP to divide secular votes.
    But voters have become quite smart now; they are able to see the direction of how the water is flowing like wise, who is taking the benefit of divided votes!
    Voters will identify and will kick out proxy candidates who are helping the party whom they oppose.

    It is my earnest request to Kannadigas (irrespective of caste and religion) of this lovely state of Karnataka that not to vote for BSP, JD(S) alliance. Both are corrupted and planted corrupted bomb by BJP. There is also one idiot from Hyderabad Owaisis is a planted bomb by BJP. So vote for good candidates and ensure congress comes back because the state has been far healthy and corruption free for 5 years and one CM ruled the state from 2013 to 2018 not like BJP from from 2008 to 2013 total corruption and the CM went to Jail and the state was ruled by 3 CMs. Don't make Karnataka like Northern States MP, UP, Haryana, Rajasthan etc as they are rogue states and Karnataka is learned, well educated and disciplined people.

    There are 71 corruption cases against Siddaramaiah. If we vote BJP probably, Siddu might go to jail. Vociferous campaign by Siddu itself shows that he is doing this to ensure that he does not go to Jail.
