K'taka: BJP makes inroads into Muslim regions

Pointing to the Lokniti post poll data, political analyst Sandeep Shastri said the survey shows 15% of the Muslim vote went to BJP in Karnataka. “This is lower than the BJP’s tally in the assembly polls, but higher than what it secured in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections,” Shastri said. “This could be because there was a majority consolidation in Karnataka leading to a minority consolidation too.”
