In a significant political development, BJP candidate Dr. C.N. Manjunath is poised for a decisive victory in the Bangalore Rural Lok Sabha constituency, leaving Congress candidate D.K. Suresh in a state of shock. From the outset of the vote counting, Dr. Manjunath established a substantial lead, which has only widened with each passing round.

Current data indicates that Dr. Manjunath is ahead by an impressive margin of 1,24,943 votes. This overwhelming lead has sparked celebrations at Dr. Manjunath’s residence, as his victory appears almost certain.

The Congress party has faced a severe setback, with D.K. Suresh managing to lead only in the Kanakapura Assembly Constituency. In stark contrast, Dr. Manjunath is leading in seven other assembly constituencies within the Bangalore Rural Lok Sabha. This one-sided trend has intensified the sense of upset within the Congress camp.

D.K. Suresh, clearly disheartened by the unfolding results, sought consultations with senior Congress leaders, including a visit to DCM D.K. Shivakumar’s house, to discuss the party’s strategy and future steps.

The emphatic lead of Dr. C.N. Manjunath not only underscores a significant political shift but also highlights the challenges facing the Congress party in the region. The BJP’s strong performance signals a potential reshaping of the political landscape in Bangalore Rural Lok Sabha.
