The Congress party emerged victorious in the keenly fought by-polls to the Lok Sabha from Udupi Chickmagalur constituency in Karnataka. In sweet revenge in Karnataka, where BJP is battling a leadership crisis and serious corruption charges, the Congress wrested the prestigious Udupi-Chikmagalur Lok Sabha seat from it by a good margin of 45,724 votes. BJP’s defeat was particularly humiliating as the Udupi Chikmagalur seat was held by Chief Minister Sadananda Gowda, who resigned from it after he took over as Chief Minister last year.
