When elections were won by just one vote in India - SO MUST CAST YOUR VOTE ON JUNE 1
Believe it or not, but there have been at least two occasions when a person was elected as an MLA after securing just one more vote than the runners-up.
In the 2004 Karnataka assembly elections, AR Krishnamurthy of the Janata Dal (Secular) lost to Congress’s R Dhruvanarayan by just one vote. This happened in the Santhemarahalli (SC) assembly seat. Krishnamurthy garnered 40,751 votes while Dhruvanarayan emerged victorious with just one extra vote (40,752).

The second such instance was during the 2008 assembly elections in Rajasthan. This was in the Nathdwara assembly constituency where Congress’s CP Joshi and BJP’s Kalyan Singh Chouhan were contesting against each other. When the results were declared, Chouhan got 62,216 votes while Joshi had to make peace with 62,215 votes.When elections were won by just one vote in India
