Four political stalwarts will not represent their constituencies from Karnataka in the Lok Sabha. Their phenomenal runs in the elections, over several decades have come to a grinding halt due to either miscalculations or charges of nepotism and corruption

Former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda, former chief minister Veerappa Moily, 10-time MLA and 2-time MP Mallikajuna Kharge, 7-time MLA KH Muniyappa and Ballari by-election hero VS Ugrappa tasted defeat in the hands of BJP opponents this Lok Sabha election in Karnataka
 

V Muniyappa, Karnataka CM's political secretary, Sidlagatta MLA, while referring to Congress leader KH Muniyappa, said that when a person is in power for a long time, people search proof for his work. 

The 28 years rule of KH Muniyappa over Kolar MP seat came to an end at the hands of low profile BJP candidate S Muniswamy. The BJP candidate decimated the stalwart by over 2 lakh margin, thus emerging as a giant slayer. Muniswamy in his exclusive interview to MyNation has spoken about Muniyappa’s failures.

Rs 10 lakh seized from Kolar Lok Sabha Congress candidate and MP KH Muniyappa's relative's house in Kolar.

Seven-time MP from Kolar, Congress candidate KH Muniyappa who faces trouble at the hands of rebels is still confident as he ever was. He said that as Congress rebel leader's Kothur Manjunath and H Nagesh are outsiders and that there was no doubt in his mind that he will win again.
