Has BJP been successful in wooing Muslim voters in Sindgi?
The Hindu
Bhusnur says that he has secured at least 4,000-5,000 Muslim votes and he may be telling the truth: writer
What factors could have influenced the bypoll results in Sindgi? This is the issue being discussed a day after the results.
While some have said that the BJP victory in Sindgi is significant as the ruling party lost in Hangal, the Chief Minister’s home district, some others are praising the efforts of party leaders V. Somanna, Lakshman Savadi and others.
However, the factors seem to be varied and non-linear. Sindgi was one of the six seats won by the Janata Dal(S) in North Karnataka. On Tuesday, it lost the seat and party candidate Naziya Angadi lost her deposit. Compared to this, party leader M.C. Managuli, who won in 2018, had secured 70,865 votes, around 44% of those polled.
