Bengaluru: First-time, BJP’s candidate and BBMP Corporator S. Muniswamy defeated Congress-JD(S) candidate and seventh-time sitting MP K.H. Muniyappa by a huge margin of more than one lakh votes at the elections held to Kolar Lok Sabha Constituency. The results will be announced officially this evening.
Many voters of the constituency were stunned when BJP chose, an almost unheard, S. Muniswamy for Kolar. The saffron party has fielded this 44-year-old Corporator bypassing Dalit leaders such as D.S. Veeraiah, Chi.a. Ramu and C. Narayanaswamy for the constituency reserved for SC.
