I really don't understand how the NDTV came up with 35-40 seats for BJP out of 89 assembly seats in old mysore region.Can any one in this discussion board who is fimiliar with politics of old mysore region tell from which districts are these seats coming from? is it from Hassan,Mandya,Ramanagaram,Mysore or chamrajnagar?Can u name few BJP candidates from these districts who are going to win? Any locals from these districts in this discussion board knows how politics is played in this region. And for thoses who don't know, it is based on CASTE and I can tell you that the fight is between JDS and Congress in this region.The only place where BJP can win some seats are in Bangalore Urban district but again congress is going to give a tough fight there.

Its from all those districts.
Till last assembly elections, these districts were strongholds of Congress and JDS. It was always a contest between the Vokkaliga leaders Devegowda and SM Krishna.
People have become totally fed up with the caste politics of Congress and JDS. They want to give BJP a chance in this elections.

Is it not a caste politics by BJP when they are going around the state meeting various lingayat swamiji's to get thier community support telling that a Lingayat leader (Yedurappa) has been robbed of CM post by Vokaligas? In this case why would Vokaligas who are majority in Old Mysore region would vote for BJP?
