Former CM Jagadish Shettar, who left the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and joined the Congress, has faced a crushing defeat. Shettar lost the Hubballi-Dharwad Central seat to BJP’s Mahesh Tenginakai.

Said – Defeat due to money power
BJP candidate from Hubli-Dharwad Central seat Mahesh Tenginakai got 95064 votes while Jagadish Shettar got 60775 votes. The tallest leader of the Lingayat community faced a crushing defeat in the elections at the hands of his own disciple. He said that I have been defeated because of money power. Money can change a lot in present times. At the same time, he also answered the question of leaving BJP saying that BJP had not done enough with him.
Congress’s hand was held only last month
Last month, Shettar had announced his resignation from the BJP after he was denied ticket for the May 10 polls.
