Karnataka elections: Ballari back in control of the Congress

The Hindu  

In the 2008 Assembly elections, the BJP won eight of the total nine seats. As a result, the BJP won eight of the nine seats in the district in the 2008 elections, leaving just one for the Congress. With the bifurcation of Ballari, five seats remained in the old Ballari district and five seats went to the newly formed Vijayanagara, including Harapanahalli which came back to Ballari district. In the 2023 elections, the Congress won all five segments in Ballari district – Kampli, Siruguppa, Ballari City, Ballari Rural, and Sandur. Even Mr. Janardhan Reddy’s wife Gali Lakshmi Aruna, who contested from the KRPP party, also lost from Ballari City at the hands of the Congress’ young candidate Na.Ra.
