Bangalore, May 15 (IBNS): At a time when the Congress has roped in the Janata Dal (Secular) to form the next Karnataka government, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is playing safe by waiting for the final results of the assembly elections to get released before revealing its decision.

Interacting with the media, BJP's Chief Ministerial candidate B.S. Yeddyurappa said: "Shortly we will come to know the exact figure and then we will decide on the future."

In a massive turnaround in the Karnataka politics, the Congress has said it will extend support to former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda's Janata Dal (Secular) to form the next state government, to keep out of power the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP),  which emerged as the single largest party in the assembly polls.

Though the BJP has emerged as the single largest party in the Karnataka polls, it falls short of the majority mark.

According to the latest trends, the BJP is leading in 108 seats, Congress in 72 and JD(S) in 40.

According to the reports, Congress chairperson Sonia Gandhi had  talks with JD(S) leaders over a possible coalition government in the state.

The Congress has left the CM's post to the JD(S), report said.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has emerged as the single largest party in the assembly polls.
