While the Congress is aiming to get re-elected to power for the second consecutive time, the BJP is trying to return to power after a gap of five years.

The poll contest has turned out to be a clash between Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and BJP's Chief Ministerial candidate B.S. Yeddyurappa.

The poll will be held on May 12 and the counting of votes will take place on 15th of the same month.
