Shanta had won the 2009 election by a margin of 2243 votes and the re-counting confirmed it today.
"It is victory for the truth", Shanta, sister of BSR party founder B Sreeramulu, said after the results were announced.
Shanta is now identified with her brother's fledgling political party and continue to be BJP MP.
Shanta secured 4,02,213 votes as against N Y Hanumanthappa (Cong) 3,99,970.
Chandregowda, a Congress worker of Bellary, had filed a petition challenging Shanta's election accusing electoral malpractices by the authorities and the Karnataka High Court had ordered for recount of votes.
The Supreme Court had on June 11 upheld the High Court order and directed the authorities to take up recount of votes, which was held today.
Supporters of BSR (Badavara, Shramikara and Raithara) party celebrated the endorsement of Shanta's victory in various parts of the district.
