The Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) has raised serious allegations against the Congress party regarding its victory in the Davangere South Assembly constituency bypolls. According to SDPI State president Abdul Majeed, the Congress party allegedly secured its win through the 'power of money' and 'blatant misuse of State machinery.' Majeed stated that the Congress resorted to electoral malpractices by deploying significant resources and engaging in direct interference across various wards. He claimed that Ministers, Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs), and heads of several boards and corporations were involved in closely monitoring the electoral process, raising concerns about the integrity of the elections. These allegations highlight ongoing tensions in Karnataka's political landscape as parties vie for control in crucial constituencies.
