Tensions escalated as workers from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress engaged in a heated exchange of words outside a polling booth in Chitradurga, Karnataka. The clash occurred amidst the ongoing battle for the state assembly, as voters commenced the process of electing a new 224-member assembly.
The campaign leading up to the election has been marked by intense and acrimonious exchanges, with prominent political figures traversing the state and making various promises and accusations. The contest primarily revolves around the BJP, Congress, and Janata Dal (Secular) (JD(S)), forming a three-way race. The outcome of this election is closely watched as a barometer for the larger 2024 elections.
The BJP seeks to end a 38-year-long drought in the state, aiming to become the first incumbent party to secure re-election since 1985. On the other hand, the Congress relies on corruption allegations against the ruling party to propel them back into power.
As the polling process continues, incidents like the clash between party workers serve as reminders of the intense competition and charged environment surrounding the elections.
