Karnataka is now in birth pangs of a new government — May 2023. The fight is between the incumbent BJP and desperate Congress but JD(S) is the challenge to both Congress and BJP. H.D. Kumaraswamy of JD(S) is confident that in case of a fractured mandate he can act as a catalyst in forming the government and become a king-maker or with a little bit of luck become the king himself. After all, if it could happen in the past in 2006 (BJP, JD-S) and 2018 (Congress-JD(S), why not in 2023? It is said that politics is the game of possibilities. He who plays well will win.
