The ruling BJP on Monday Dec 09,2019 retained the majority in the Karnataka Assembly when it bagged twelve seats in the by-elections
The Congress, which won 12 of those 15 seats in the 2018 Assembly polls, won only in two segments: Hunsur and Shivajinagar. Former prime minister HD Deve Gowda-led JD(S) that
had won three seats in the previous election — KR Pete, Mahalakshmi Layout and Hunsur — drew a blank
Independent candidate Sharath Bachegowda, who was earlier expelled from BJP for anti-party activities after he contested the bypoll as a rebel, registered a win in Hoskote.
Turncoats had a field day as 11 of the 13 in the fray after joining the BJP emerged victorious, as the ruling party's gamble to field the defectors from the Congress and the JD(S) who helped them come to power paid off.
The 12 BJP candidates who won are: Arabail Shivaram Hebbar (Yellapura), Narayana Gowda (K R Pete), BC Patil (Hirekerur), Shrimant Patil (Kagwad), Mahesh Kumthalli (Athani), K Sudhakar (Chikkaballapura), K Gopalaiah (Mahalakshmi Layout), Anand Singh (Vijayanagara), Ramesh Jarkiholi (Gokak), Arun Kumar Guttur (Ranebennur), ST Somashekar (Yeshwanthpura) and Byrathi Basavaraj (KR Puram)
The Congress candidates who have won are Rizwan Arshad (Shivajinagar) and HP Manjunath (Hunasureu).
