Congress candidate Sowmya Reddy has won Karnataka's Jayanagar Assembly constituency, defeating BJP candidate BN Prahlad by nearly 4,000 votes. Although polls were held across the state on May 12, voting for the Jayanagar seat was deferred to June 11 because of the death of BJP candidate BN Vijayakumar. She is Bengaluru's 7th woman MLA in the last 66 years.
