MYSURU
In the border district of Chamarajnagar, the Congress achieved an impressive victory in three out of four seats. The BJP has been wiped off from the district following the defeat of its lone MLA in Gundlupet.
Interestingly, the Karnataka leg of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra began from the district in Gundlupet. The Yatra gave a new hope to the party cadre in the district. The party retained its seat in Chamarajanagar and wrested Kollegal and Gundlupet seats but lost in Hanur.
