In the 23 strong TMC, the counting for which was held at taluk panchayat office here on Wednesday, the Congress won 12 seats while the BJP won remaining 11 seats. Both parties had fielded 23 candidates each, while the JD(S) and SDPI had fielded 5 and 4 candidates respectively. Three independent candidates also tried their luck but in vain.

Supporters of both BJP and Congress had gathered in large numbers outside the counting centre as both were neck-and-neck each winning 11 seats. Finally, the result of Ahmed Mohalla seat brought cheers on the faces of Congress supporters as their candidate Leela humbled BJP's Ratna by a margin of votes.

The prestigious TMC, which falls under Urban Development Minister and Udupi District in-charge Vinay Kumar Sorake's Kaup constituency, had recorded 75 percent voter turnout in the election held on April 24.

Since Mr. Sorake had personally taken the initiative to make Kaup a TMC, it was a matter of prestige for him to win the polls. On the other hand, the BJP, which had performed well in the recently concluded Zilla and Taluk Panchayat elections in the district, also had tried its best to upset Mr. Sorake's applecart.

Bengaluru, July 31: Denying irregularities in covid-19 equipment purchase by the Karnataka government, the state unit of the BJP has issued legal notices to Congress leaders Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar demanding that they apologize or face a defamation suit. 

The notices seek a public apology for the allegations levelled against the government on irregularities in the procurement of Covid-19 equipment and supplies. 

Both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar, the Karnataka Congress president, have been doggedly pursuing allegations of corruption against the BJP government and have demanded a judicial inquiry. 

BJP general secretary N Ravi Kumar said that while the Congress leaders claimed that Rs 4,157 crore was spent during Covid-19, they also allege that the government has not responded to any of the 20 letters written by them. "If the government has not provided any answer to the Opposition, where did they get the figures from," he said.

None of the allegations of corruption is specific and the statements made are factually incorrect. "These statements, without any basis, have been issued calculatedly to lower the image and damage the reputation of the government, the Bharatiya Janata Party, representatives of the party and the ministers in the government," the notice issued on behalf of Ravi Kumar read.
