Jolt for Cong as BJP-JDS gains big in K'taka

A year after its defeat in the Assembly elections, the BJP managed to make a comeback by winning 17 of the 28 Lok Sabha seats, while its alliance partner JDS won two, taking the NDA tally to 19 in Karnataka.

The ruling Congress, which heavily banked on its guarantee schemes and hoped to make big gains, had to be content with nine seats. But compared to the 2019 LS elections in which it had won just one seat, Congress' tally increased significantly this time. However, it could not reach its target of winning double-digit seats. "We were not able to win LS seats as per our expectations. We were hoping to win 15-20 seats," CM Siddaramaiah said.
