Voting day in the all-important Karnataka Assembly elections 2018 is all but over and the various exit polls are now out.

Out of five exit polls that are part of Republic TV's #PollOfPolls, four of them have predicted the BJP to emerge as the single largest party with a triple-digit seat total.

However, one exit poll predicts the Congress to emerge as the largest party and is also, interestingly, the only scenario where a party crosses the majority-mark.

Jan Ki Baat, CNX, Vijayavani and CVoter (which is using data till 4 pm) predict the BJP to get 104, 106, 105 and 108 seats respectively. Meanwhile, Axis' exit poll sees the Narendra Modi and Amit Shah-led party winning just 81 seats.
