In an “equal fight” between the Congress and BJP in the recently-held Lok Sabha elections in Karnataka, Congress enjoys an edge because of the women voters, claimed editor of web portal Eedina.com H.V. The recent elections in Karnataka were so “close” that even 1% swing of votes could give either party a “landslide” win. Hence, the outcome of the polls to a large extent depends on the “undecided” voters, including women. During the surveys by their web portal, more number of women than men had disclosed that they were “undecided”. The other undecided voters included non-Kuruba other backward classes (OBCs), youth and farmers.
