Karnataka election 2018: Blue coastline gets saffron shade

MANGALURU: The pitched campaigns of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP nationwide president Amit Shah in the coast have decimated the Congress into oblivion in these parts, particularly in the key districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi. The BJP onslaught left 9 sitting MLAs lose by means of excellent margins. Of the 19 seats in the three coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada, BJP has received 16.
While six sitting MLAs, together with a minister, misplaced in Dakshina Kannada, a minister and two sitting MLAs misplaced to BJP candidates in Udupi. The BJP reversed the 2013 trend of the Congress by means of winning 7-1 in Dakshina Kannada. Congress was once most effective able to carry on to Mangaluru City (U T Khader), a few of the 8 constituencies. The BJP defeated the Congress 5-Zero in Udupi district.

Khader was once the one saving grace for Congress in Dakshina Kannada, keeping his seat for the fourth time in a row, with S Angara from Sullia winning the ST constituency for a record sixth time. All the sitting MLAs misplaced against freshmen from the BJP: Vedavyas Kamath (Mangaluru City South) received against J R Lobo of Congress, Harish Poojnja (Belthangady) received against veteran Vasanth Bangera and Dr Bharath Shetty trounced sitting MLA Mohiudeen Bava by means of a large margin. BJP’s Sanjeev Matanduru who misplaced against Congress candidate Shakuntala Shetty in 2013, received against her in Puttur this time around, as did Umanath Kotian, against sitting MLA Abhayachandra Jain, by means of spectacular margins.


The most telling blow got here in Udupi with sitting MLA and minister Pramod Madhwaraj, rated as the most productive MLA in the state, dropping to the BJP’s Raghupathi Bhat. The key constituency of Bhatkal also noticed Congress candidate Mankala Subba Vaidya, who had received as an Independent in 2013, lose against Sunil Naik of the BJP. However, Haliyal sponsored its sitting MLA and minister R V Deshpande against Sunil Hegde of the BJP. It is the 8th victory for Deshpande in Haliyal. He has been winning the constituency since 1983, and had misplaced to Sunil Hegde once (in 2008). Former minister Vishweshwar Kageri of the BJP received the meeting election for a sixth time in a row from Sirsi. Earlier, he had received the election from Ankola constituency on three events, and with Tuesday’s victory he has received from Sirsi for the 3rd time. In Yellapur meeting constituency, sitting MLA and Congress candidate Shivaram Hebbar scrapped through with a slim margin on 1,483 votes.


Independent Srikar Prabhu who contested in Mangaluru City South and former police officer Anupama Shenoy who contested from Kaup constituency in Udupi district failed to make an affect, getting less than 2,000 votes each.


Observers indicate this to consolidation of pro-BJP votes, with BJP leaders repeatedly elevating safety issues in their workers and by means of highlighting the murders in their birthday celebration workers. P L Dharma, a professor of political science, believes that more anti-incumbency came about than was once previously estimated, and than the campaigning by means of Amit Shah and Modi seems to have labored here. “It is not that leader minister Siddaramaih was once not supported by means of the people, but he did not have the base to counter Modi. We have to include a different language of inclusiveness. Perhaps the CM failed on this rely,’’ he stated, including that the youth want a excellent future and don't want politicians to nit-pick on others faults, just like the Congress did.
