Veteran BJP leader BS Yeddyurappa said the results were a warning for the BJP partymen and work needs to be done right away in the respective constituencies.
“The painful fact is that we have had a setback in Ballari and Jamakhandi. I feel this is a warning to us and we need to begin work there right away,” he said, as quoted by Hindustan Times (HT).
Yeddyurappa’s son won from Shivamogga Lok Sabha seat.
He also accused the ruling Congress-JD(S) alliance of using money power. “ They had money, muscle and government power and they used this or else we could have got more votes. They won because they spent a lot of money and supplied a lot of liquor. But they could not do so in Shivamogga, but let us not get disheartened,” he said.
My heartiest congratulations Karnataka! Thank you for your continued commitment to keeping divisive, hateful narrative of the #BJP out of the state. The same will be repeated in other States, soon . pic.twitter.com/3Wg7NZPN76

These election are the first step. There are 28 Lok Sabha seats, we’ll work with Congress to win all of them, that is our goal. This is not an empty boast just because we have won today. This is the confidence of people in us. This win is not making us arrogant.
We humbly accept the verdict of the People in the by-elections.

Unlike the "Unholy Alliance Partners" @BJP4Karnataka will not insult People by blaming EVMs or money power for our loss.
People have rejected BJP. It is also a rejection of Modi govt. Bypoll results will send a message to the entire country that the time for change has comeDinesh Gundu Rao

Congress candidate Anand Siddu Nyamagouda has won the Jamkhandi seat by 39,480 votes.
For me any post is not important. The responsibility and the confidence they have shown is important.
After 20 rounds of counting, BJP candidate BY Raghavendra was ahead with 52,148 votes more than S Madhubangarappa.
However, Raghavendra’s lead is paltry when compared to his father BS Yeddyurappa, who had won the same seat with a margin of 3.4 lakh in the previous election.
4-1 result (unsure about Shimoga LS) in Karnataka looks like a Test series win under Virat Kohli. Coalition has delivered.

When Bangarappa was nominated as the JD(S) candidate to contest the Shivamogga seat, local BJP leaders began doubting the possibility of a win. The reason? Caste calculations.

The Lok Sabha by-elections were held to fill vacancies caused by the resignation of its three sitting members – BJP's Yeddyurappa from Shimoga and Sriramaulu from Ballari, and C Puttaraju of the JD(S) from Mandya on being elected to the Assembly in the 12 May elections.
The Ramanagara by-poll was held to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Kumaraswamy, who retained the adjacent Channapatna Assembly seat after contesting and winning from both the seats.
(IANS)
In 1999, Ballari – a mine-rich district in north Karnataka – was the arena for a political showdown between Sonia Gandhi and Sushma Swaraj. Gandhi won the elections that year, but over the next decade the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) managed to wrest power in the region.
Almost two decades later, in November 2018, Ballari will once again be closely watched in Karnataka and outside as a precursor of the crucial 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
Read the complete story here.
The ruling Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) and Congress alliance is upbeat on retaining their hold in the Saturday's five by-elections ahead of the vote count on Tuesday, 6 November, an official said.
"Higher voter turnout in the two Assembly segments of Jamkhandi and Ramangara and moderate in the three parliamentary seats of Ballari (ST), Mandya and Shimoga indicate that joint candidates of our parties have a clear edge," a JD-S official told IANS.
Ballari constituency had recorded the highest voter turnout after voting concluded on 3 November, with 63.85 percent.
Shimoga and Mandya constituencies recorded 61.05 percent and 53.93 percent voter turnout respectively. The Legislative Assembly constituencies of Ramanagaram and Jamkhandi recorded 73.71 percent and 81.58 percent turnout respectively.
