The Jayanagar election result controversy continued to rage on a day later, as the former MLA Sowmya Reddy, who lost by a slim margin to the BJP candidate, sought “continued support” to fight the injustice of “foul play“.
On Saturday, after multiple rounds of counting and examination of votes, at midnight it was declared that the BJP candidate C.K. Ramamurthy defeated Ms. Reddy of the Congress by 16 votes.
The Congress had accused the officials of “twisting” the results by considering the postal ballots which were initially rejected.
