Chimmanakatti openly expressed his dissatisfaction over not receiving a ticket as it was given to another Kuruba leader Siddaramaiah. Nonetheless, he was eventually reassured and Siddaramaiah managed to secure a narrow victory with a margin of 1,696 votes against the BJP candidate, B Sriramulu. in 2013, Chimmanakatti had won the election with a more substantial margin of over 15,000 votes.[12] His son won Badami seat which he represented 5 times.[13]
