He's won three consecutive elections from that constituency and is the incumbent MP of Dharwad. In the 2009 General elections, he won by second highest margin amidst 28 constituencies in Karnataka, which is indeed a commendable feat. In 2019, he retained the Dharwad seat for a second term by a margin of over one lakh votes and was subsequently appointed as Minister of parliamentary affairs; Minister of coal; and Minster of Mines.
