Congress on Wednesday wrested the Jayanagar assembly constituency from BJP — the latter lost the seat after 10 years. The Congress tally in the 224-member Karnataka assembly is now 79. Though ruling alliance partner JD(S) had pulled out its candidate from the fray in support of Congress making it a straight contest, former CM Siddaramaiah of Congress said it was his party’s victory and not the coalition’s.
