It can be recalled that the BJP State Government was harassed left, right and centre by the Media and opposition parties relating to the Church attacks, Mangalore Pub attack and even the silliest of all – the Charlie Chaplin Controversy.

The Congress failed to cash in on the bad press given to the BJP and could only come up with 6 seats. The other main party – the JD(S) got three seats which includes its bastion of Hassan won by former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda.

1. Bharatiya Janata Party - 19
