Chikkamagaluru: Congress party stormed into the Tarikere Municipal with the absolute majority after winning 15 out of 23 seats at the recently held Tarikere Municipal Elections. The results of the election were announced on Monday morning.

Tarikere assembly constituency is represented by BJP MLA DS Suresh, and Congress securing an absolute majority in BJP’s stronghold has left the saffron party red-faced.

22 out of 23 wards of the Municipality went for election earlier last month after one ward had an unopposed candidate.

BJP on the other hand could only secure a win in only one ward whereas seven other wards chose local candidates to represent them at the municipality.

BJP had made every effort to win the municipality election of Tarikere but the Congress denied it a chance by securing an absolute majority with 15 seats.
