evidence: The Congress hailed its victory in local body elections in Karnataka saying it was glad that people changed their mind soon after the Lok Sabha elections, but raised the issue of efficacy of EVMs Congress won the highest number of seats in civic polls in Karnataka, in some good news for the beleaguered party which was routed in the state in the just-concluded Lok Sabha elections.

The Congress and the JD(S) had managed to win one seat each, indicating that neither arithmetic nor chemistry had worked for the two as its local leadership failed to reconcile at the ground level during the national elections.
