The fight in Bagalkot District is largely Congress versus BJP in the 7 constituencies - Mudhol (SC), Terdal, Jamkhandi, Bilgi, Badami, Bagalkot and Hungund.
The #Congress wave is strong here. The projection of 5 seats for Congress out of 7 is a new high
Five of the constituencies in the district are dominated by Marathas, while Lingayats form a majority in most of the 13 remaining constituencies.
The tectonic shift of the Lingayat voter base from BJP to #Congress is responsible for that Party to gain from a region.
The BJP left out a number of sitting MLAs and notable leaders from its candidates' lists, including Madal Virupakshappa, K S Eshwarappa, ex-chief minister Jagadish Shettar, Aravind Limbavali and Laxman Savadi, to name a few, triggering protests by their supporters in the region.
Rahim Khan of INC is winning Bidar Assembly seat with a margin of around 18,000 votes
Modi campaigned in the neighboring District Gulbarga. The BJP has fielded very weak candidates. A diminishing influence of the PM has left these candidates high and dry
Four-time MLA C T Ravi up against former aide in Chikmagalur HD Thammaiah. In one of the major upsets, CT Ravi is losing his seat.
INCs projected victory in 2 seats can be considered as a good show.
It is worth mentioning that Chikballapur is considered a significant constituency for the #BJP as it is the home turf of Dr. K.S.Sudhakar, a "loyalist" and former Minister of Medical Education and Health of Karnataka
Pradeep Eshwar of INC is set to defeat him
NY Gopalakrishna, who returned to Congress after a notorious defection to BJP, will take on his long-standing foe in Molakalmuru. Bitter Rivals of INC NY
Gopalakrishna locks horns with BJP's S. Thippeswamy.
Congress will win a minimum of 3 seats in the district.
Dakshin Kannada as of now still stays strong for the BJP. INC certain to win 2, could win a surprise 3rd seat too.
Congress candidate SS Mallikarjun is all set to defeat the sitting BJP MLA Lokikere Nagaraj from Davanagare North Seat.
People have lost faith and hope in BJP. PM Modi has personally campaigned in this District. He is not seen anymore as the Leader that BJP tries to project.
In Hubballi-Dharwad Central, the battle is between Jagadish Shettar’s hurt sentiments and BJP’s betrayal card. This seat was held by the BJP for long. But, this time its Congress that's winning here
"Will vote for Indira Gandhi's party", says farmer in Gadag as Poll Campaign enters last day in Karnataka. Congress candidate and sitting MLA H.K. Patil is comfortably placed in the constituency which has a large Muslim population along with Hindu Lingayats and Dalits.
Congress will win the same number of seats as JDS.
After much deliberations, the JD(S) has fielded Swaroop HS Prakash, who will be up against BJP's Preetham J Gowda. Congress has fielded Banavasi Rangaswamy. BJP's attempts to woo Vokkaliga voter base is failing.
Congress gains here at the expense of the BJP. This is yet another constituency where PM Modi has personally campaigned.
Hirekerur, Gadag, Byadagi, Shirahatti, Ron, Ranebennuru, Hanagal, and Haver are the 6 MLA Constituencies in the Distrct
Stronghold of Kharge- Congress.
The BJP Candidate in Chittapur Manikanta Rathod, is a rowdy sheeter with many criminal cases against him. His threat to kill the Kharge Family members has backfired on him.
#PriyankKharge is all set to win by a lead of over 15,000 votes
BJP restricted to 1 seat by Congress. The BJP candidate in Madikeri faces a strong incumbency factor. People are looking for a change.
At Virajpet the Congress candidate AS Ponnanna is all set to defeat the sitting BJP K.G.Bopaiah
Almost a clean sweep for Congress. JDS may win 1 seat here
Kolar will witness C.M.R. Srinath from JD(S) ,Kothur G. Manjunath from INC and Varthur Prakash from BJP contesting
1 to 1 Fight between Congress and the BJP
BJP fails to break the Vokkaliga votes. The 7 seats from the Constituency will be shared between INC and JDS at 3:4
Traditional strong hold of Congress gaining more strength
BJPs attempts to break the Vokkaliga voter base has failed. Both JDS and INC share equal wins
INC will be gaining in this constituency at the expense of BJP. Sidelining of Yediyurappa and betraying the Lingayat Community leaders and seers by the BJP Top Brass will have a huge impact
The #BJP has targeted JDS by fielding many Vokkaliga candidates in this region. The Congress voter base stays strong. Women, Youth, Dalits and Lingayats have sided with the #Congress
One of the strong-holds of #BJP is now getting shaky for the party. Poor performance of the sitting MLAs and continuous communal strife has made people tired of the party.

It is better to address this world's largest scam and an umbrella scam under which many many other scams are awaiting to be exposed.
This super scam by #ModiGovt falls foul against the framework of the following Acts.
- Representatives of People Act (RoPA)
- The conduct of Election Rules 1961
- The companies Act 3014
- The Income Tax Act 1961
#ModiGovt has given political power to companies, wealthy individual donors, and foreign entities dilutes the universal franchise of ONE VOTER -ONE VOTE
This leads to multiple Policy and Procedural changes, that have large negative
effect.
Spare 10 mins to read this post. Slide by slide . All 7 of them.
For a minute just forget the propaganda stories that the #GodiMedia and #BJP IT Cell and the Election advertisements tell. Look carefully 👇
The gap in the Income levels of the top 10% Rich Indians....in comparison with the balance 90% Indians are as distant as the height of the sky from the earth.
GDP growth has NO meaning to you.
What matters is what is the Income that YOU gained this year.
The month of November 1971, 52 years ago, Very important events were happening in our country.
The year was 1971 and the month November.
“If India pokes its nose in Pakistan, US will not keep its trap shut. India will be taught a lesson.”
- Richard Nixon
“India regards America as a friend. Not a boss. India is capable of writing its own destiny. We know and are aware how to deal with each one according to circumstances.”
- Indira Gandhi
Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi articulated these exact words sitting with the US President Richard Nixon in the White House, while maintaining an eye-to-eye contact. This incident was narrated by the then Secretary of State and NSA, Henry Kissinger, in his autobiography.
That was the day when the Indo-US joint media address was cancelled by Indira Gandhi who walked away from the White House in her inimitable style.
Kissinger, while ushering Indira Gandhi into her car, had commented, "Madam Prime Minister, don't you feel you could have been a little more patient with the President?"
Indira Gandhi replied, "Thank you, Mr. Secretary, for your valuable suggestion. Being a developing country, we have our backbones straight - & enough will and resources to fight all atrocities. We shall prove that days are gone when a power can rule and often control any nation from thousands of miles away.”
Thereafter, as soon as her Air India Boeing touched down at Palam runway in Delhi, Indira Gandhi summoned the leader of the opposition, Atal Behari Vajpayee to her residence.
Post an hour of discussion behind closed doors, Vajpayee was seen hurrying back. It was thereafter known that Vajpayee would be representing India at the United Nations.
Donald Paul of BBC had jumped in with a question to Vajpayee, "Indira ji regards you as a staunch critic. In spite of that, are you sure you'd be at the United Nations shouting your throat (voice) out in favour of the Incumbent Government?”
Vajpayee had a repartee.. "A rose adorns a garden, so does a Lily. Each is beset with the idea that they are individually the most beautiful. When the garden falls in a crisis, it's no secret that the garden has to safeguard its beauty as one. I have come today to save the garden. This is called Indian Democracy."
To put the depth of depravity in perspective, according to the State of Inequality Report, an Indian earning Rs. 3 lakh per annum would be placed in the top 10% of wage earners.
In contrast, the richest 1% own more than 40% of the national wealth.
Consumerism driven climate crisis: In terms of usage, the top 1% has a disproportionate carbon footprint.
The bottom half of the population is responsible for carbon emissions of around 1 metric tonne per annum, while the richest 1% of Indians emit 32.4 metric tonnes per annum… https://t.co/vXpualpXOLtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Weakening democracy: With such immense wealth accumulation in the hands of a few, power too gets very concentrated, resulting in the formation of oligarchies.
Quite naturally, these wealthy individuals would do their best to keep the wealth in their families, by influencing… https://t.co/dXaXNuyftztwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
