Bangalore By-elections

Karnataka is gearing up for by-elections in three assembly constituencies with sons and proteges looking to retain seats for their parties in the state assembly.

Southern actress Ramya, who contested for the ruling Congress from Mandya constituency in the Karnataka by-elections, has won with an impressive margin of over 50,000 votes. She defeated Janata Dal Secular candidate C Putturaju.

Cash totaling Rs 2.12 crore was seized from two vehicles in Bangalore's southern suburbs while it was allegedly being taken to Bangalore Rural and Mandya parliamentary constituencies where by-elections are due on August 21, police said.

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah today said defeating JDS in its own bastion was the only strategy before the Congress for the August 21 by-elections to two Lok Sabha seats in the state.

A tense waiting period has begun for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Karnataka ahead of Sunday's by-election to the Udupi-Chikmagalur Lok Sabha seat whose outcome will have a major impact on the party's fortunes.

The huge victory margin of 46,790 votes with which Independent candidate B. Sriramulu Sunday won the Bellary Rural assembly by-election has stunned Karnataka's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the main opposition Congress.
