Karnataka Bypolls Results 2021 Highlights: The bypolls results brought a mix bag of emotions for both the Congress and the BJP with both bagging one seat each of the two seats which went to bypolls on October 30. The BJP bagged the Sindgi seat by a margin of 31185 votes while the Congress grabbed the Hangal seat by 7373 votes. In Sindgi, BJP’s Bhusanur Ramesh Balappa emerged victorious by polling 93865 votes while the nearest rival Congress candidate Ashok Mallappa Managuli got 62680 votes. The JDS candidate Angadi Naziya got only 4353 votes.

There were a total of 19 candidates in the fray from the two constituencies, including six from Sindgi and 13 from Hangal. Two candidates from Sindgi were women. A good voter turnout was recorded in both the constituencies with 69 per cent in Sindgi and 84 per cent in Hangal. The by-elections was necessitated as the seats had fallen vacant following the death of Sindgi JD(S) legislator M C Managuli and BJP’s C M Udasi from Hangal.

Ramesh Bhusanur had finished second behind Managuli in the 2018 polls. The JD(S) had fielded 33-year-old postgraduate Naziya Shakeel Ahmed Angadi from Sindgi and 35-year-old B.E, M.Tech graduate Niyaz Shaikh from Hangal. The Congress had accused the JDS of tyring to polarise the votes by fielding Muslim candidates.
