"I will be able to answer that question after (May) 13th (day of counting of votes)," he remarked.
By voting today, the Chief Minister said he has done his duty towards democracy and it's a privilege to exercise his franchise in his home constituency.
"Please vote for the success of democracy; vote for development of Karnataka," Bommai said in an appeal to the people.
He said the election is about the development agenda of the BJP versus the "negative and sinister campaign" that the Congress tried to run, adding that the people are always "positive-oriented" and vote for the party for development.
