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.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
