The Union Minister polled 9.86 lakh votes against Gowda who secured 7.26 lakh votes.

Shobha had faced "go-back" agitation in the constituency as the BJP had denied a ticket to sitting party MP, former CM D. V. Sadananda Gowda.

Shobha faced stiff resistance in the Udupi-Chikkamagaluru Parliamentary constituency from local leadership ahead of the Lok Sabha election.

However, Shobha managed to get a ticket from the Bengaluru North seat.Shobha is the close associate of former CM B. S. Yediyurappa.
