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.

BJP to secure Chief Minister post in Maharashtra; Allies to hold Deputy CM roles: Ajit Pawar
Mumbai: Amid ongoing deliberations over the formation of the Maharashtra government, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Ajit Pawar announced on Saturday that the Chief Minister's position would go to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Pawar stated that the Mahayuti alliance, comprising the BJP, Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena, and the NCP faction led by him, had reached this decision during a recent meeting in Delhi. He clarified that the Deputy Chief Minister roles would be allocated to the Shiv Sena and NCP factions.
"During the Delhi meeting of Mahayuti leaders, it was decided that the BJP would hold the Chief Minister's post, while the remaining two parties would get Deputy Chief Ministers," Pawar said. He added that delays in government formation are not unprecedented, citing the 1999 scenario where it took a month to establish a government.
Meanwhile, BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis is being widely regarded as the frontrunner for the Chief Minister's post. Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde expressed his willingness to abide by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision on the matter.
