Meanwhile, the voters have been asked to cast their votes quickly, as the weather forecast seems to be not in favour of the state. Although sunny, it is likely to rain in the poll-bound state, according to the weather report.

Meanwhile, JD(S) leader, HD Deva Gowda is sure of his party’s victory in the state and will form the next government. He said: “There will be an increase in voting this time. People want to remove the Siddaramaiah government from Karnataka. People will come out in large numbers.”
