Karnataka Assembly election Results 2018: Full list of JDS winners

Bengaluru: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged as the single largest party in Karnataka Assembly polls winning 104 seats, but falling short of a majority. The Congress bagged 78 seats and Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) ended up with 37. The Bahujan Samaj Party, who was in alliance with the JD-S bagged one seat.

In a roller-coaster ride for BJP, it initially appeared that the party was set to return to power after a five-year hiatus with a resounding majority. But at the end of counting of votes, it came tantalisingly close to the numbers needed to form the government.

At least ten ministers fell by the wayside as they lost their seats in an anti-incumbency wave. Siddaramaiah himself lost by a huge margin of 36,042 votes in his traditional constituency of Chamundeshwari in Mysuru. He, however, managed to scrape through in Badami in north Karnataka, where he won by a slender margin of 1,696 votes after a see-saw battle against BJP's B Sriramulu, a close associate of the mining baron Reddy brothers. 

BJP's CM candidate Yeddyurappa won the Shikaripura seat by a margin of over 35,000 votes while Kumaraswamy won convincingly in both Channapatna and Ramanagara. 

Following is the list of JD(S) winners:
