The Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged winners in one each of the two Assembly seats for which the byelection was held on April 14. While the Maski seat was bagged by the Indian National Congress, the Basavakalyan seat went the BJP way. Congress also drew consolation from the outcome of the byelection for Belgaum Lok Sabha seat. Though the BJP candidate won the seat, the victory margin came down to just around 5,000 votes. The outcome of the three byelections is being interpreted in political circles as resurgence of the Congress in the State.
