Congress workers celebrate Supreme Court interim order reinstating Rajegowda as MLA in Sringeri recounting row. Hearing adjourned to May 21.
In the Sringeri recounting controversy, Rajegowda has petitioned the election commission, alleging irregularities in the vote counting process that may have affected the outcome.
Counting of postal ballots in Sringeri assembly constituency remains incomplete amid confusion. In the 2023 election, TD Rajegowda had won by 201 votes. Out of 1,822 postal ballots, 279 votes were rejected.
The Karnataka High Court has directed a recount of 270 rejected postal ballots in the Sringeri Assembly segment, a move that could impact the election outcome in this closely contested constituency.
