The massive leads for the Congress, though in municipal polls, comes in backdrop of a crushing defeat at hands of the Narendra Modi-led BJP in the Lok Sabha elections 2019.

Out of the 28 parliamentary seats in Karnataka, the BJP won 25 constituencies, whereas, the Congress and JD(S) were restricted to 1 each. The two parties were contesting under a pre-poll alliance. The remaining one seat was bagged by an independent candidate.

The ULB polls were held on May 29, six days after the general election results were declared. The Congress and the JD(U) decided to contest the polls separately.
