2014 Indian general election in Karnataka
The 2014 Indian general election in Karnataka was a pivotal political event, forming part of the larger national election held from April to May 2014. This election aimed to elect the 28 members of the Lok Sabha, the lower house of India's Parliament, representing the state of Karnataka. The results marked a significant shift in the political landscape, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress (INC) emerging as the dominant forces. The Congress party, led by Siddaramaiah, aimed to consolidate its power in the wake of a successful state assembly election in 2013. The election witnessed high voter turnout and was characterized by extensive campaigning, particularly around issues of development, governance, and social welfare schemes, reflecting the diverse political aspirations of the state's electorate.
