However, sources confirmed that an official announcement from the Election Commission of India in this regard is still pending.

Nevertheless, supporters of Congress party candidate Shreyas M Patel in Hassan have started celebrating after this development.

If Congress wins from Hassan then it will wrest this seat from Janata Dal after 25 years.

Ironically, Shreyas Patel's grandfather, late Puttaswamy Gowda, had defeated former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda in 1999.

Now, Shreyas Patel is all set to defeat HD Deve Gowda's grandson Prajwal Revanna.

The Congress candidate has received 5.29 lakh votes so far and Prajwal has received 5.02 lakh votes, with Shreyas gaining a lead of over 29,000 votes.

Reacting to this development, former CM and Janata Dal state president HD Kumaraswamy said on Tuesday that Haasan's result is shocking for him.
