Karnataka BJP chief and MLA B.Y. Vijayendra expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the Sringeri Assembly constituency recount, citing it as a triumph for the electoral system and judiciary. Vijayendra alleged pressure from the ruling Congress to delay result declaration, emphasizing the importance of accepting the people’s verdict.
Vijayendra highlighted the victory of BJP candidate D.N. Jeevaraj as a testament to democratic institutions’ strength and the electoral process’s integrity. He commended the voters of Sringeri for their support and emphasized the significance of upholding the value of every vote through constitutional methods.
The completion of the postal ballot recount in Sringeri has sparked conflicting claims of victory, with the BJP asserting success based on Election Officer figures. Despite celebrations by sitting MLA T.D. Rajegowda, the official result is pending announcement, pending Election Commission review.
