Mangaluru, May,9: Senior leader of Congress Janardhana Poojary said that Congress will emerge victorious in all eight seats in Dakshina Kannada.

Speaking at a press meet in party office in Kadri here in the city on Wednesday Poojary said, in last assembly election congress has won seven seats in the coastal district. But this time we will bag all the eight seats.

Some people spreading false propaganda against MLA J. R Lobo. This is condemnable. Congress is not restricted to one religion or caste. The party believes in secular principles and respects every religion. Lobo also respects people from all the community. Projecting him as anti Bunts and anti Billava is not right he said.

Lobo is secular person and spreading false rumours against him is condemnable. If it is proved that Lobo is a castiest, I myself will cast my vote against him, Poojary said.

MLA J.R Lobo, DCC president Harish Kumar, KPCC general secretary and district incharge U.V Venkatesh, Mayor Bhaskar Moily, MUDA president Suresh Ballal, former mayor Shashidhar hedge, party leader Muhammed Masood, Kallige Taranath Shetty, Muhammed Salim, Vijay Kumar Shetty and others were present.

New Delhi: Election Commission of India’s official results website ‘results.eci.gov.in’ has reportedly experienced a technical outage on Saturday morning, at a time when India closely watches the high-stakes Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly poll battle.

Visitors visiting the site were met with non-functional links and a generic “counting in progress” message, leaving them without updated election data. The ECI has not issued an official explanation for the disruption.

Vote counting, which began at 8 a.m. with postal ballots, is underway for 288 assembly seats in Maharashtra and 81 in Jharkhand. Early trends suggest a lead for the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra, currently ahead in 141 seats, while the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) is leading in 96. In Jharkhand, the BJP-led NDA is ahead in 43 seats, while the ruling JMM-led alliance is trailing with leads in 33 constituencies.

Additionally, counting is underway for 48 assembly bypolls across 13 states and two parliamentary seats, Nanded in Maharashtra and Wayanad in Kerala.
