From narrow win in 2023 to shock loss 3 yrs later: How Congress lost Sringeri

In the Karnataka Assembly elections, four constituencies recorded victory margins of fewer than 250 votes, with Sringeri being one of them. Congress candidate T D Rajegowda initially won the polls by a margin of 201 votes, but the result was challenged by BJP candidate D N Jeevaraj in the Karnataka High Court. After a recount, the High Court ordered, Jeevaraj's tally increased to 690 while Rajegowda's came down to 314, reversing the result and giving the BJP candidate a lead of 52 votes.
