Till recently, the elections in Karnataka were termed as battle between congress and BJP. Surprisingly, Deve Gowda`s Janata Dal began to take firm chances in many segments. Opinion polls began to suggest some seats in the bag of Janata Dal making it a deciding factor in forming the government. Fears began to rise in both congress and BJP that Janata Dal could either take away their chances of victory or spoil them. As the rumours began to tour regarding a secret alliance between BJP and JD... the chief ministerial candidate of JD Mr. Kumara Swamy has vehemently denied that there would be alliance with either congress or BJP. Further he expressed confidence that his party would gather enough seats to form a government of its own.
