This looks majority of people have voted based on caste/sects. muslim candidates won in muslim majority area even candiadates are not deserved and similarly in other relegion dominated areas too. this needs to be eradicated and elect the honest people who really works for betterment of society in all fileds.
I assume this result definatly not based on the performance of the previous tenure or state/central government performance.
every voters are the decision makers for future India.

This results shows the way to Sorake to resign from his current ministry. Oscar fernandes to be dethroned from Congress central hicommand. Mr. Promod must come out of Sorake/Oscar combine and work independently. We know he is a loyal worker of the party. But as long as the two opportunists are in the party, congress popularity will decline to Zero. This is a ringing bell to all congress great and mini leaders of Udupi District.

SORAKEGE PORAKE

GOOD LESSON FOR SORAKE.... IF U DONT GIVE TICKET FOR MUSLIMS U WILL NEVER GET MUSLIM VOTE.

MUSLIM VOTERS ARE THE DECISION MAKERS

tight slap on the face of Sorake

THANKS FOR SUPPORTING BJP..... SPECIALLY SDPI AND OTHER CongRSS leaders...

BJP must appreciate Congress (Oscar,Sorake,Ramanath Rai ) for retain Both districts

JP Effect in Udupi Dist

In the two coastal districts, Bjp wil have the upper hand.......that is seen in every day life......

This is really same for us all congressmen, people are not voting for true face, BJP s worst ruling in india.,

congress did so much kithapathi still BJP won, this is the truth of True leadership.

BJP won, so exited will celebrate in bengaluru,

its total cheating vote counted, BJP government can do whatever they want until they are in power.

Congress take up JNU Student to defeat ZP election, but congress itself bites the dust.

BJP Jai Ho, Expected result.

Members of the transgender community on Sunday had also taken out a march here to express solidarity with those protesting against CAA, NRC, and NPR.

The newly enacted law is facing stiff opposition across the country with some states including Kerala, West Bengal, Rajasthan and Punjab refusing to implement it. Rajasthan, Kerala, and Punjab have also passed resolutions against the amended citizenship law in their legislative Assemblies.

The CAA grants citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist, and Christian refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.
