But now, Siddaramaiah is dealing with the blended pressure of the JD(S) and BJP, which want to nip his ambition of returning to power again.

During one in all his roadshows, Siddaramaiah expressed his predicament when he told electorate that the people of Varuna also wanted him to contest but he opted for Chamudeshwarai for a powerful reason why.
“I want to finish my political occupation by getting elected from Chamundeshwari, because it was once you individuals who sent me to the decrease house for the first time in 1983 and likewise gave me political rebirth in the 2006 bypoll. This can not happen without your reinforce,’’ Siddaramaiah mentioned.
After delimitation of assembly constituencies in 2008, when he had to choose between the 2 segments, he opted for Varuna, saying his native Siddaramanahundi is connected to Varuna.
However, the impending Chamundeshwari poll promises to be a throwback to 2006 when Siddaramaiah had surrender the JD(S) after being sacked from the deputy CM’s submit, and joined the Congress.
Sitting JD(S) MLA G T Devegowda has been openly inviting Siddaramaiah to contest from Chamundeshwari in opposition to him. His self belief stems from the truth that two influential leaders -- Dalit leader V Srinivasa Prasad and previous Congress MP A H Vishwanath, who had fallen out with Siddaramaiah -- are backing him this time to avenge their sacking and forget.
