Karnataka will go to polls on May 12 to elect representatives to the 225-member state assembly. The results will be out on May 15.

It is now official that a total of 2,655 candidates will contest the elections in Karnataka. The Congress has released its manifesto and called it the Mann ki Baat of Karnataka. The BJP is yet to release its manifesto.
