==2008-18: seats where victor polled more than 50% of the votes==
 +
[https://indianexpress.com/article/political-pulse/50-plus-vote-wins-jds-consistency-beats-bjp-congress-in-karnataka-8532562/  Harikishan Sharma, April 3, 2023: ''The Indian Express'']
 +
 +
As many as 92 of the 224 members of the Karnataka Assembly got more than 50 per cent of the total votes polled in their constituencies in the 2018 elections, up from 65 in 2013 and 50 in 2008.
 +
 +
An analysis of the results of these three elections shows that it’s not the big two, the BJP and Congress, who have had complete and consistent dominance in their constituencies. It’s the third wheel of the Karnataka elections, the Janata Dal (Secular), that has done so, indicating its command over its strongholds. It is also the only one of the three parties with consistent rise in the number of seats where it won with more than 50 per cent of the votes.
 +
 +
Of the 92 candidates who won with more than half the total votes polled in 2018, 48 were from the BJP, 27 from the Congress, and 17 were JD(S) leaders.
 +
 +
''' 2008; Total tally: BJP 110 seats, Cong 80, JD(S) 28 '''
 +
 +
Of the 50 candidates elected with more than 50 per cent of the votes in their constituencies in the 2008 elections, 30 were from the BJP (of its total of 110), 13 from the Congress (of its total 80), six from the JD(S) (which won 28 seats in all) and one Independent.
 +
 +
These 50 constituencies were spread over 23 districts, with the district of BBMP (Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike) accounting for most such constituencies (11) followed by three each in Mysuru and Udupi.
 +
 +
 +
The emphatic victories of the JD(S) came in the districts of Ramnagar, Hassan, Mysuru and Belagavi. The BJP’s 30 were spread over 18 districts, while the Congress’s 13 came from 7 districts.
 +
 +
''' 2013; Total tally: BJP 40 seats, Cong 122, JD(S) 40 '''
 +
 +
Five years later, when 65 seats saw winners who had got over 50 per cent of the votes, these were again spread over 23 districts. Of these 65 seats, 40 were won by the Congress, nine by the JD(S), eight by the BJP, four by Independents, three by the Badavara Shramikara Raitara Congress (a party founded by BJP rebel B Sriramulu), and one by the Karnataka Janata Paksha (KJP).
 +
 +
However, only 21 of these 65 seats were among the 50 that had seen a similar emphatic result in 2008. Besides, in 21 of those 50 seats, the incumbents lost in 2013 despite their impressive wins in 2008.
 +
 +
The BJP, which had won 30 of these 50 constituencies in 2008, could retain only 12 of them, and the Congress 11 of its 13. The JD(S) though retained all but 1 of its 6 seats with similar big wins, apart from increasing its tally of such seats.
 +
 +
The JD(S) big victories again came from a small set of districts as in 2008 — BBMP, Hassan, Kolar, Mysore, Raichur and Ramanagar.
 +
 +
''' 2018; Total tally: BJP 104 seats, Cong 78, JD(S) 37 '''
 +
 +
While the 2018 results would lead to constant horsetrading and eventual change of government within a year, the Assembly elections saw as many as 92 winners with over 50 per cent of the votes.
 +
 +
Of these 92 seats, the BJP won 48, the Congress 27 and the JD(S) 17. The results hence showed a massive rise in sweeps by the BJP and JD(S) in seats, and a steep fall in similar performance by the Congress.
 +
 +
Only 35 of the 65 candidates who had won in 2013 by more than half the votes polled in their constituencies, won in 2018. Of these 35, 22 belonged to the Congress, followed by 6 each of the BJP and JD(S), and 1 Independent.
 +
 +
This means the JD(S) again managed to retain most of the seats it had won in the 2013 elections with equally big margins.
 +
 +
The JD(S) sweeps came across eight districts this time — Bangalore Rural, BBMP, Gulbarga, Hassan, Mandya, Mysore, Ramnagar, and Tumkur districts.

=== Cong's Lingayat religious minority card failed===
 
[https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/how-karnataka-dalit-lingayat-cards-didnt-work-for-congress/articleshow/64180728.cms  May 15, 2018: ''The Times of India'']
 
 
Two of the major chunks of voters that the Congress was banking on in Karnataka were Dalits and Lingayats and as election results were declared both appeared to have voted in large numbers for the BJP.
 
In fact, the Congress in 2013 rose to power in the southern state with a strong backing of minorities, backward classes and Dalits and the same coalition led to its ouster in 2018.
 
 
The Congress desperately tried to add to the coalition the Lingayat factor by granting religious minority status to the community - a move that didn't work to its advantage.
 
 
Dalits and Scheduled Tribes in Karnataka are huge in numbers anywhere between 20 to 23 per cent, enough to make or break prospects for any political party to come to power.
 
 
Take a look at the past elections of Karnataka.
 
 
In the 51 constituencies reserved for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, the BJP got just seven in 2013 while the Congress got 26 and JD-S 11. The BSR Congress bagged four seats while two went to independents. The Congress scored an easy majority.
 
 
In 2008, when the BJP won the mandate as the single largest party, it bagged 27 and the Congress 17. The JD-S won nine.
 
 
And cut to 2018 that threw up a hung verdict. The BJP and the Congress appeared neck and neck winning 23 and 19 seats respectively. The JD-S grabbed eight. The end result is a hung assembly which was a similar case in 2004.
 
 
Dalits have traditionally been supporters of the Congress but the BJP has successfully managed to break into the support bases, particularly since the 2004 polls when it managed a social engineering exercise to attract a section of Dalit voters - called the Left Dalits.
 
 
The Left Dalits are considered the most marginalised among such communities.
 
 
The Congress also tried to woo BJP Chief Ministerial face B.S. Yeddyurappa's own caste - the Lingayats - a traditional BJP support base. They have influence on nearly 100 seats in the 224-member assembly and make up 17 per cent of the state's population.
 
 
The Congress hoped that that by playing the religious minority card, it would split the BJP's vote base as Lingayats appeared going back to Yeddyurappa after voting against him in 2013. But the experiment seemed to have failed.
 
 
The BJP won from the majority of Lingayat dominated seats - mainly in north Karnataka (Hyderabad Karnataka) and parts of the central region.
 
 
In 2013, when the Congress emerged a clear winner, it won 47 seats in Lingayata heartlands, against just five for the BJP.
 
 
===Vokkaligas vote against Siddaramaiah, hurt Cong===
 
[https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/vokkaligas-vote-against-siddaramaiah-hurt-congress/articleshow/64177123.cms  Chethan Kumar, May 15, 2018: ''The Times of India'']
 
 
 
'''HIGHLIGHTS'''
 
 
Siddaramaiah’s tussle with the numerically strong Vokkaliga community can be a strong reason for his loss in Chamundeshwari
 
 
JD (S) leader GT Deve Gowda won from Chamundeshwari with a margin of 36,000 votes
 
 
 
Among other things that the Congress party will find as reasons for its loss when it introspects, Siddaramaiah’s tussle with the numerically strong Vokkaliga community will be among the top three. If this costs him his seat in Chamundeshwari, JD (S) leader GT Deve Gowda won with a margin of 36,000 votes, it also impacted the party’s prospects in the old Mysuru region comprising Mandya, Tumakuru, Hassan, Kolar and Chamarajanagar.
 
 
In Chamundeshwari—which can be viewed as a microcosm of the impact Vokkaligas had on Congress—of the 2.2-odd lakh electors who voted, 1.21 lakh or 55% voted for GT Deve Gowda, while Siddaramaiah garnered 38% of vote share with 85,283 votes. In all, the constituency had an estimated 1.3 lakh Vokkaliga voters.
 
 
Experts estimated that there were at least 45 seats where the Vokkaliga community could play a key role, and the JD(S) has managed to win more than 20 of these, where the community was decisive.
 
 
JD (S), riding on Vokkaliga backing swept Mandya winning all six seats. It didn’t even spare the Melkote segment, where Congress didn’t field anybody as a sign of respect to veteran politician Puttannaiah, who passed away earlier this year. While Congress extended its support to Puttannaiah’s son Darshan, JD(S) decided to field a sitting MP CS Puttaraju, a strong Vokkaliga who won.
 
 
GT Deve Gowda, analysing Congress’ performance said: “Siddaramaiah is not somebody we dislike, but his remarks about Deve Gowda in the run-up to the elections angered the community, which consolidated against him, not just in Hassan and Mandya, but in other districts of the belt too.”
 
 
In Hassan, considered the backyard of JD(S) supremo HD Deve Gowda’s family, the party bagged six of seven seats, improving its tally by one from 2013 with Gowda’s son HD Revanna also winning with a huge margin. The party, however, is said to have given away the Hassan seat to BJP, whose Preetham J Gowda, won with more than 10,000.
 
 
The community has also managed to dent Congress’ chances in many segments in Kolar, where it won three seats, Tumakuru, where it won six of 11 seats, and also in Mysuru and Chamarajanagar.
 
 
Political analyst Krishna Kumar, says: “One key factor was appointing Kempaiah as the home minister’s advisor and the subsequent feeling among Vokkaliga officers that they are being retributed. The community did not take lightly what they perceived was a ploy to make the Kuruba community stronger.”
 
 
===Cong gains in vote share, loses out on seats===
 
[https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/despite-gains-in-vote-share-the-congress-loses-out-on-seats/articleshow/64177663.cms  Despite gains in vote share, the Congress loses out on seats, May 15, 2018: ''The Times of India'']
 
 
 
Conventional logic says that if a party increases its vote share, it should win more seats in election. While that holds true for the BJP, as the 2018 Karnataka election results reveal, the same can’t be said for the Congress.
 
 
First, a look at how the BJP has fared in terms of vote share in the last three elections. It’s been a see-saw ride to say the least. In 2008, the BJP had a 33.9 per cent vote share, which dropped to 19.9 per cent in 2013 and has risen back to 36.2 per cent in 2018.
 
 
''' Explore how Karnataka voted '''
 
 
Now look at the Congress’s vote share numbers. The party has steadily improved its vote shares in the last three elections from 34.8 per cent in 2008 to 36.6 per cent in 2013 to 38 per cent in 2018. However, this has not translated to more seats. In 2008, despite a higher vote share, the Congress lost to the BJP. In 2013, its vote share increased by 2.2 per cent but its seat share rose dramatically to 54.5 per cent. In 2018, despite a higher vote share, the number of seats it won has dropped.
 
 
What worked in BJP’s favour? In 2012, the BJP split, BS Yeddyurappa who was then the chief minister was forced to step down due to corruption charges. He walked out to set up the Karnataka Janata Paksha (KJP) and his party bagged 10 per cent vote share in 2013. Similarly, B Sreeramulu quit the BJP to set up the BSR Congress, which too bagged 2 per cent vote share in 2013. In 2018, the two leaders buried the hatchet and were back in the BJP fold. This augured well for the BJP, which got a 36.8 per cent vote share and has emerged as the single largest party in terms of seats won.
 
 
Live updates: Karnataka election results 2018
 
 
Why has the Congress not been able to win more seats despite higher vote share? One, the BJP made deep inroads into its traditional strongholds -- coastal Karnataka and Mumbai Karnataka -- regions, the Congress won several seats in 2013, but was not able to make a marked difference in 2018.
 
 
Two, the Congress’s strategy of a minority status for Lingayat and Veerashaiva communities came a cropper. Both the communities appear to have gravitated towards leaders from their own communities -- BS Yeddyurappa who is a Lingayat and Sreeramulu who belongs to the Veerashaiva community -- which are back in the BJP fold.
 
 
Elections with Times: Flavour of poll campaigns, ground mood
 
 
Three, the Vokkaliga community, too did not waiver towards the Congress. PM Modi’s campaigned aggressively in Old Mysuru constituencies where the fight was between the JD (S) and the Congress. This strategy had the desired impact -- JD (S) maintained its stronghold in the region and won more seats.

[edit] Constituencies consistently dominated by certain parties

[edit] 2008-18: seats where victor polled more than 50% of the votes

Harikishan Sharma, April 3, 2023: The Indian Express

As many as 92 of the 224 members of the Karnataka Assembly got more than 50 per cent of the total votes polled in their constituencies in the 2018 elections, up from 65 in 2013 and 50 in 2008.

An analysis of the results of these three elections shows that it’s not the big two, the BJP and Congress, who have had complete and consistent dominance in their constituencies. It’s the third wheel of the Karnataka elections, the Janata Dal (Secular), that has done so, indicating its command over its strongholds. It is also the only one of the three parties with consistent rise in the number of seats where it won with more than 50 per cent of the votes.

Of the 92 candidates who won with more than half the total votes polled in 2018, 48 were from the BJP, 27 from the Congress, and 17 were JD(S) leaders.

2008; Total tally: BJP 110 seats, Cong 80, JD(S) 28

Of the 50 candidates elected with more than 50 per cent of the votes in their constituencies in the 2008 elections, 30 were from the BJP (of its total of 110), 13 from the Congress (of its total 80), six from the JD(S) (which won 28 seats in all) and one Independent.

These 50 constituencies were spread over 23 districts, with the district of BBMP (Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike) accounting for most such constituencies (11) followed by three each in Mysuru and Udupi.


The emphatic victories of the JD(S) came in the districts of Ramnagar, Hassan, Mysuru and Belagavi. The BJP’s 30 were spread over 18 districts, while the Congress’s 13 came from 7 districts.

2013; Total tally: BJP 40 seats, Cong 122, JD(S) 40

Five years later, when 65 seats saw winners who had got over 50 per cent of the votes, these were again spread over 23 districts. Of these 65 seats, 40 were won by the Congress, nine by the JD(S), eight by the BJP, four by Independents, three by the Badavara Shramikara Raitara Congress (a party founded by BJP rebel B Sriramulu), and one by the Karnataka Janata Paksha (KJP).

However, only 21 of these 65 seats were among the 50 that had seen a similar emphatic result in 2008. Besides, in 21 of those 50 seats, the incumbents lost in 2013 despite their impressive wins in 2008.

The BJP, which had won 30 of these 50 constituencies in 2008, could retain only 12 of them, and the Congress 11 of its 13. The JD(S) though retained all but 1 of its 6 seats with similar big wins, apart from increasing its tally of such seats.

The JD(S) big victories again came from a small set of districts as in 2008 — BBMP, Hassan, Kolar, Mysore, Raichur and Ramanagar.

2018; Total tally: BJP 104 seats, Cong 78, JD(S) 37

While the 2018 results would lead to constant horsetrading and eventual change of government within a year, the Assembly elections saw as many as 92 winners with over 50 per cent of the votes.

Of these 92 seats, the BJP won 48, the Congress 27 and the JD(S) 17. The results hence showed a massive rise in sweeps by the BJP and JD(S) in seats, and a steep fall in similar performance by the Congress.

Only 35 of the 65 candidates who had won in 2013 by more than half the votes polled in their constituencies, won in 2018. Of these 35, 22 belonged to the Congress, followed by 6 each of the BJP and JD(S), and 1 Independent.

This means the JD(S) again managed to retain most of the seats it had won in the 2013 elections with equally big margins.

The JD(S) sweeps came across eight districts this time — Bangalore Rural, BBMP, Gulbarga, Hassan, Mandya, Mysore, Ramnagar, and Tumkur districts.
