Summary:
Now the Congress broke that monopoly and retained the seat after 14 years.Congress candidate VS Ugrappa has polled 6,28,365 votes against BJP. After this, Ballari mining baron G Janaradhan Reddy and Sreeramulu's family members retained this seat by winning all election from 2004. I have a gut feeling that people will support me and it is true now. Ugrappa won with a margin of 2,43,261 votes. I will be here for serving people of this constituency..
