Karnataka: Boost for oppn as Cong-JD(S) wins 4-1

Congress wrested the prestigious Ballari Lok Sabha seat which has been in the grip of BJP since 2004 without a break. Ballari is the 10th Lok Sabha seat that BJP held in 2014 but has now lost in subsequent bypolls, reducing its tally in the House from 282 to 272​. The results are a leg up for opposition unity.
