“In Karnataka elections, BJP lost 58 seats by a margin of 2000 votes & 41 seats by a margin of 1000 votes”
What FACTLY found
In the recently held Karnataka elections, there are only 12 such constituencies, where the margin of the winning candidate is below 2000. While the BJP won 7 of these 12 seats, the Congress party won the remaining five seats. This implies that the BJP lost only five seats in this election by a margin of less than two thousand votes. Further, BJP did not lose any seat with a margin between 1000-2000 votes
