Priyanka Jarkiholi : Lok Sabha 2024 Election
Priyanka Jarkiholi, running for the Congress party, beat Annasaheb Jolle, the sitting MP for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), in the Chikkodi district, which was a big win for her.
- This win is important because the BJP won all but one of the seats in the Mumbai-Karnataka area.
- With her recent election win, Priyanka broke a lot of records.
- She is one of the youngest people to make it into Parliament, at 27 years and one month. She is also the first woman from a tribal background to win a seat in Karnataka’s parliament from an open district.
- This is similar to what Kotturu Hariharappa Ranganath did when he was a Lok Sabha member from Chitradurga from 1984 to 1989.
