Most exit polls have given an edge to the Congress over the ruling BJP, while indicating the possibility of a hung Assembly.

Earlier today, JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy said that the JD(S) is a small party and there is no demand for him to other party leaders. 

Speaking to reporters, Kumaraswamy said, "Exit polls show that the two national parties will score in a big way. The polls have given 30-32 seats to JD(S). I am a small party, there is no demand for me...I am hoping for a good development."

On May 10, Karnataka witnessed a tight triangular contest with the BJP, the Congress and the JD(S) as key parties in fray. Most of the exit polls showed the Congress having an edge.
