Another surprising incident took place in the Karnataka assembly election results. A BJP candidate has won the Jayanagar Constituency results of Bengaluru where there is a lot of excitement. The BJP candidate Ramamurthy requested for a recount on the results that were initially against. Congress party leaders and activists started to worry about this. The officials were accused of fraudulently changing the result during the recounting.
CK Ramamurthy on behalf of the BJP and Soumya Reddy on behalf of the Congress Party contested in the Jayanagara constituency in Bengaluru. While Soumya Reddy was in the majority in the first results, Ramamurthy objected. He expressed suspicion that there might have been a mistake in counting. The authorities have stopped the results from being revealed.
Ramamurthy requested for recounting. Postal ballot votes were recounted. This time Ramamurthy got a slight lead of 16 votes. The officials announced that the BJP candidate Ramamurthy won. With this victory, another seat has been added to BJP’s account. In total, BJP candidates have won 66 MLAs in the Karnataka Assembly elections.
Finally BJP candidate CK Ramamurthy was declared winner in Bengaluru’s Jayanagar constituency, after defeating Congress rival Sowmya Reddy by a margin of 16 votes. The election result was declared after multiple rounds of counting and the late night drama.
