A far-reaching victory for some; A hard-fought victory for most
Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್
Bengaluru: The voters of the capital, who have continued the process of sticking to the ideology of personal charisma and parties, have once again fallen for the same party and individuals. In this regard, BJP has increased by one from the last year tally, while Congress maintained the status quo in the number of seats. JDS lost even one seat and became zero.
Barring a couple of the city's 28 assembly constituencies, the victory was not easy for those who had won a hat-trick to those who were back in the fray. Although hundreds of crores of development works are ahead, the voters have not easily laid the victory wreath. There was a lot of anxiety in the house before finally winning and laughing in a stubborn fight. The Prime Minister's long rally and AICC leaders' rallies have not influenced the voters.
Capital Bangalore is a prestige district for Congress and BJP. National parties are fighting hard here every time. The parties who trusted personal influence retained their seats by giving tickets to such persons again.
The anti-incumbency of the BJP government and the pro-Congress wave have not had such an impact on the voters of Bengaluru. Person Prabhava got a chance here again and the sitting MLAs of Congress and BJP won. Victory is not so easy for them. However, he got enough votes to register victory.
Ramalingareddy of Congress, Krishna Byregowda, K.J. George, Dinesh Gundurao, M. Krishnappa, Jameer Ahmed Khan, Bairati Suresh continued their winning streak. Similarly, BJP's R. Ashoka, Suresh Kumar, Ashwatthanarayan, Raghu, Ravi Subramanya, Satish Reddy, S.R. Vishwanath, S.T. Somashekhar, M. There is no obstacle to Krishnappa's victory.
Akhand Srinivasamurthy, who wanted Congress ticket in Pulakeshinagar, contested from BSP. However, the Congress has fielded Srinivas and has proved that this is the constituency of the Congress by winning hugely. Here the candidate has changed and Congress has retained the constituency.
In Mahadevpur, the BJP fielded Arvind Limbavali's wife Manjula instead of him. Congress H. Even if Nagesh was brought here and stopped, BJP's supremacy was not taken away. Thus, even though the person changed, the BJP won the constituency.
In Govindarajanagar V. Somanna was replaced by former corporator Umesh Shetty from BJP. Umesh Shetty was not a rival to Congress's Priyakrishna, who worried Somanna too. Father-son (Krishnappa-Priyakrishna) who were ready to defeat Somanna got a victory garland.
The BJP, which had lost the Dasarahalli constituency last time, had tried its best to win this time. This time BJP's S. Muniraju was a strong contender. Muniraju, who had won twice in this constituency, has succeeded in winning again this time.
JDS 'Nil'
JDS, the 'Soil Children's Party', which is making a huge effort to maintain its presence in Bengaluru city, has not won a single constituency this time. Earlier, Chamarajpet was under the wing of Jamir Ahmed Khan when he was in JDS. In Pulakeshinagar, Akhand Srinivasa Murthy also won from JDS. K. Gopalaya had given victory to JDS in Mahalakshmi layout. After Jamir, Akhand and Gopalaya left the party, those constituencies were abandoned by JDS. Last time, BJP's S. R from JDS after defeating Muniraju. Manjunath had won. But this time that too has been abandoned.
Apart from Dasarahalli, JDS is eyeing Yeshavantpur. Again, Javarai Gowda, who had lost three times, was fielded to win over the Okkaliga community. HD Both Deve Gowda and Kumaraswamy campaigned vociferously. However, Jayarai Gowda could not win again due to the stigma of 'Bhoomafia'. Now, the dream of winning votes between two Brahmins in Basavanagudi is dashed. The JD(S) failed in the capital Bengaluru without any victory.
A defeat for ex-corporators
Apart from.C.K. Ramamurthy the hope of former BBMP corporators to reach the assembly remained a dream. Six former corporators from the BJP and two from the Congress were in the fray for the assembly elections.
Padmanabhareddy (Sarvajnanagar) from BJP, H. Rabindra (Vijaynagar), N. Chandra (Shivajinagar), Sivakumar (Shantinagar), Umesh Shetty (Govindarajanagar) and Anandkumar (C.V. Ramannagar), Kesavamurthy (Mahalakshmi Layout) contested from Congress.
