Bengaluru: The ruling Congress-JD(S) combine in Karnataka will gain maximum number of seats in the recently concluded Lok Sabha polls as per an analysis done by the party, Deputy Chief Minister G Parameswara said earlier today.

“Based on the information we have gathered from constituencies, we did an analysis, which said both parties (Congress and JDS) together would win a majority of seats, while the BJP would lose face. I’m giving this statement based on the reports that we have got,” Parameshwara said.

Speaking to reporters in Hubballi, he said people of the country have seen what kind of administration the Narendra Modi-led BJP government had given in the last five years, during which the economic situation ‘deteriorated.’

“I’m confident that that UPA government will come back to power at the centre and Rahul Gandhi will become the Prime Minister. We came to this conclusion after analysing the Lok Sabha elections which took place so far and observing the responses that we have got from all over the country,” he added.

There have been reports in sections of the media in the lastcouple of days that cited internal reports ofCongress and of Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy which said that the grand old party may end up in single digits.

Leaders of both parties are also reportedly collecting ‘evidence’ against each other about not supporting the coalition candidate, especially in old Mysuru region, where Congress and JD(S) are arch rivals and had jointly fought the polls despite resentment among grassroots level workers against the seat sharing.

According to the seat sharing arrangement Congress contested in 21 seats and JD(S) in seven.

In the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, BJP had won 17 of the total of 28 seats, Congress nine and JD(S), two.
