Lok Sabha Election 2024, Karnataka Result 2024 Highlights: The BJP yielded ground to the Congress in Karnataka, as the ruling party boosted its Lok Sabha seats tally to nine on Tuesday, with the results being declared for polls held to 28 segments in the state. The BJP which sought to ride on the Modi factor won 17 seats — down from 25 in 2019 Lok Sabha elections — while its NDA partner, JD(S) won two constituencies, according to Election Commission officials.
Having scored a thumping victory in the Assembly elections, which witnessed a triangular fight between the Congress, BJP and JD(S) in May last year, the ruling party was determined to put up a strong show but fell short of its expectations in the polls, in which the party was hoping to get at least 15 seats.
