Karnataka By-Polls: In Gundlupet, by-polls were held after the death of minister Mahadeva Prasad. His wife Gita Mahadeva Prasad is trying to retain the seat for the Congress. The BJP candidate is CS Niranjan Kumar. For Mr Siddaramaiah, who faces dissidence within, a victory in both seats is vital to retain his grip over the party ahead of the state election. Mr Siddaramaiah had devoted the last eight days of the by-poll campaign crisscrossing both the constituencies. BJP's BS Yeddyurappa too has a point to prove in these polls and it was evident as the Lingayat strongman camped in the two constituencies for the last 26 days of campaigning. A win would give him an edge in choosing candidates for next year's polls.

Karnataka By-Polls: Prospects look good for the ruling Congress in Karnataka as votes are being counted today for by-polls held in two assembly seats. The election is a prestige battle for the Congress and the opposition BJP ahead of assembly polls next year. The Congress has taken a lead in the early rounds of counting in Nanjangud and Gundulpet, both held by the party. Nanjangud is in Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's home district of Mysuru and it is important for him to retain the seat. His close aide turned rival V Srinivas Prasad, who held the seat earlier, quit the Congress after being dropped as a minister and contested as the BJP candidate. The Congress's Kalale Keshavamurthy, who had contested the 2013 Assembly polls as a Janata Dal (S) candidate, is leading in the seat.
