Bengaluru, May 15 (IBNS): 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.

Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad has confirmed his party's support to the JD(S).

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.
