Lok Sabha Elections 204 Results: Congress Turns Table In Karnataka, Big Gains in LS Elections 2024

Karnataka Election Results: The five Southern states are pivotal in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections as the BJP has been hoping to make some gains in this part of the country to shore up its tally to reach its ambitious 400+ mark. It’s the big poll verdict day for India’s 18th general elections. The ruling Congress got its first win in the Lok Sabha poll in Karnataka with its Hassan candidate Shreyas Patel beating JD(S) party patriarch H D Deve Gowda’s grandson and now-suspended sitting MP Prajwal Revanna by a margin of 44,000 votes. Prajwal who is facing allegations of sexual abuse was arrested days before the results day. As counting of votes picks up pace, the BJP-JD(S) alliance has won six of 28 Lok Sabha seats so far while the Congress gained four, outperforming its 2019 performance of one seat. Karnataka remains a focus considering it is one of the three states where the Congress is in power.
