Mallikarjun Kharge is predicted to lose the seat to his mentee-turned-rival Dr Umesh Jadav of the BJP.
The constituency-wise exit poll conducted by TV9-News9-CVoter has predicted several big losses for the Congress-JD(S) combine, especially in the most controversial constituencies including Mandya, Kalaburgi and the three segments in Bengaluru city. The polls predicted that of the 28 total seats in Karnataka, BJP would win 18 seats, the Congress 7 seats, JD(S) 2 seats and one seat would go to an independent. The exit polls indicate that Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy’s son Nikhil Kumaraswamy would lose the Mandya segment to independent candidate Sumalatha Ambareesh backed by BJP. One of the most controversial election battles that was fought in 2019, the Mandya segment witnessed a tough fight between the two candidates. With several Dalit, women’s right and minority groups offering their support to Sumalatha in addition to disgruntled Congress party workers, the election campaign became a point of friction between the coalition partners. Another shocking prediction is the loss of a stronghold for the Congress – the Kalaburgi segment. Veteran politician and eight-time MP from Kalaburgi, Mallikarkjun Kharge is predicted to lose the seat to his mentee-turned-rival Dr Umesh Jadav of the BJP. Umesh Jadav, the former MLA of Chincholi had quit the Congress and joined the BJP ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. Jadav had expressed his unhappiness with not being offered the ticket. He had also taken offence to the party giving preference to Mallikarjun Kharge's son Priyank Kharge while allocating ministerial berths. The polls also predicted that the BJP’s Tejasvi Surya, PC Mohan and DV Sadananda Gowda would win from Bengaluru South, Bengaluru Central and Bengaluru North segments. Although, south and central have been BJP strongholds, the Congress had fielded a strong candidate –Krishna Byre Gowda, from Bengaluru North hoping that his image as a well-educated urbanite would attract the city’s voters towards the Congress. While Nikhil Kumaraswamy is touted to lose, his grandfather HD Deve Gowda has been predicted to win from Tumakuru. Deve Gowda's other grandson Prajwal Revanna has been predicted to win from Hassan.
