She lost the election by just a margin of 16 votes, there were allegations of a “namesake’ Candidate in the previous elections made by Congress. The “namesake” candidate named “Soumya A Reddy” allegedly was fielded by BJP to confuse the voters. The Candidate however denied all allegations.

Sowmya Reddy is an Indian politician who is the current General Secretary of All India Mahila Congress of Karnataka and a member of the Indian National Congress. She was elected as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Karnataka from Jayanagar in 2018 before losing to C. K. Ramamurthy of the Bharatiya Janata Party in 2023.
