Mangaluru, Feb 23: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has swept the elections to the Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat and three of the five taluk panchayats in the district.
The BJP retained power in Sullia, Puttur and Belthangady taluk panchayats but lost Mangalore and Bantwal taluk panchayats to Congress after five years.
In the 36-member zilla panchayat, the BJP has won 21 seats (it had bagged 24 in the 2011) and the Congress 15 seats (11 seats earlier). SDPI and CPI(M) failed to win any seats. More details are awaited.

BJP politicians cheated. its should be clean victory for congress.
good coverage CD well done
three prominent ministers are there in DK. Still Cong lost!
BJP has won riots effected Muzaffar Nagar seat so don't be surprised if there will be riots all over UP before the up coming elections.
BJP led NDA won 7 out 12 seats across the country in by election so ppl are with Modiji
Appreciate your efforts, but the malaise is very deep. Shutting JNU temporarily won't hurt the Nation. Let's Clean Up JNU at least, Jai BJP
