CT Ravi trailing from Chikkamagaluru after second round of voting, Vijayendra trailing in Shikaripur
Chikkamagaluru: In a significant development in the Karnataka Assembly Elections 2023, BJP General Secretary and senior party leader CT Ravi is trailing from the Chikkamagaluru constituency after the second round of counting.
Reports suggest that Ravi is facing stiff competition from his rival candidate from the Congress party. The Chikkamagaluru constituency has been a stronghold of the BJP for many years, and Ravi's defeat would come as a major setback for the party.
The latest updates from the Election Commission indicate that the Congress is currently leading in 105 seats, while the BJP is leading on 81 seats and the JD(S) on 20 seats after the second round of counting.
Similarly, former Karnataka CM BS Yediyurappa's son Vijayendra was also trailing from Shikaripura constituency, his father's bastion.

Delhi polls: Congress promises Rs 25 lakh health cover under 'Jeevan Raksha Yojana'
New Delhi (PTI): The Congress on Wednesday promised a "Jeevan Raksha Yojana" for free health insurance of up to Rs 25 lakh if it is voted to power in Delhi.
Senior Congress leader and former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot said the proposed scheme would be a game-changer.
"The chances of the Congress forming the government in Delhi are increasing. I believe this is also necessary for the country," he said.
Gehlot also highlighted that the proposed scheme reflected the party's commitment to addressing Delhi residents' healthcare needs.
The party's campaign slogan "Hogi Har Zarurat Puri, Congress Hai Zaroori" was prominently displayed during the announcement, highlighting the Congress' "promise" of ensuring essential services for all.
Gehlot said the proposed scheme aimed to provide comprehensive health coverage to families, covering medical expenses for critical illnesses, hospitalisations, and treatments.
Polling for the 70-member Delhi Assembly will be held on February 5 and the votes counted on February 8.
