An hour into counting of votes in Karnataka, the Congress has got over a sluggish start to show gains in early trends. It is also already clear that the ruling BJP is not staging a comeback.

Of the 132 seats that leads were available for at about 9:15 am, the Congress was leading in 60, the BJP in 32, the Janata Dal (Secular) and BS Yeddyurappa's KJP in 25 and 5.
