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.
