Bengaluru, Dec 8 (UNI) All arrangements have been made for counting of votes for the by elections held in 15 Assembly seats, in Karnataka, held to fill the vacancies caused by the disqualification of the MLA by the Assembly speaker Ramesh Kumar, in July this year.

The results of the by elections are very much crucial for the stability of the 4-month-old BJP government and the Chief minister B S Yediyurappa, as getting less number of seats for the BJP will lead to lose majority in the 224-member Karnataka Assembly.
