The BJP has effectively wiped its opposition off the map in Lok Sabha 2019 elections in Karnataka, limiting the Congress and JD(S) to one seat each.
Even Sumalatha Ambareesh, the independent candidate whom the BJP had lent support to, has won against Nikhil Kumaraswamy, the grandson of former Prime Minister and JD(S) leader HD Deve Gowda.
The Congress and JD(S) parties suffered a brutal defeat. Only DK Suresh, the brother of DK Shivakumar, has been able to retain his seat from the grand old party in Karnataka.
For the JD(S), Hassan, which former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda had made its own, has been preserved by his grandson Prajwal Revanna.
Veteran leaders like Malikarjun Kharge and Deve Gowda were humbled by BJP leaders with seemingly lower profiles.
Even in Kolar, seven-time MP KH Muniyappa has been defeated by Muniswamy of the BJP, who until recently was a BBMP corporator.
The BJP’s overwhelming victory has now set off speculation over whether CM HD Kumaraswamy will resign from his position.
