BENGALURU: With precisely a month to move for the first phase of Lok Sabha elections in Karnataka, the 3 primary political events are still scouting for applicants across the state.
Issues associated with coalition politics between JD(S) and Congress, family politics in JD(S) and loss of winnable horses in the BJP stable are hurting the 3 primary political events. While maximum BJP applicants are protected in coastal, North and Central Karnataka, the celebration is dealing with an uphill process in fielding winnable aspirants in southern constituencies of Bengaluru Rural, Mandya, Hassan, Mysuru-Kodagu, Chamarajanagar, Tumakuru and Kolar.
Barring Mysuru-Kodagu, the place the BJP has a sitting MP in Prathap Simha — he too is said to be on a sticky wicket inside and outside the celebration — the saffron celebration is dealing with difficulties to find the appropriate Vokkaliga candidate to take at the bold would possibly of the JD(S)-Congress alliance. The saffron celebration is hoping to cash in on disgruntled leaders from the Congress together with Arkalgud Manju (Hassan) and Sumalatha Ambareesh (Mandya).
While Manju and Sumalatha are but to overtly declare their aspirations of contesting with the backing of the BJP bearing in mind their combatants are grandsons of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda, the celebration seems to be suffering to search out applicants for Bengaluru Rural and Chamarajanagar as smartly.
“Gowda’s identify in the Old Mysuru region remains to be a drive to reckon with,” stated a BJP celebration employee. “In reality, remaining yr, when the celebration approached former JD(S) MLA and now Congress leader HC Balakrishna to join the BJP and stand as the Bengaluru Rural candidate, he stated taking at the mixed would possibly of Gowda and DK Shivakumar was a frightening process.”
In Tumakuru and Chamarajanagar, the BJP is banking on spent forces like GS Basavaraju and V Sreenivas Prasad to protected a seat for the saffron celebration.
For the Congress-JD(S) alliance, regardless of the grand old celebration having aspirants throughout 28 constituencies, coalition politics has forced the nationwide celebration to concede key seats to its alliance spouse. This is creating a rift inside the celebration rank and file. The coalition partners are also suffering to search out winnable applicants in North Karnataka constituencies such as Belagavi, Dharwad, Bagalkot, Haveri and Davanagere.
The two events are also at a loss of technique over the 3 coastal seats of Udupi-Chikkamagaluru, Uttara Kannada and Dakshina Kannada, all bastions of the BJP. Furthermore, the alliance with the JD(S) has left the Congress rank and file in tatters with the local leadership elevating a banner of rebellion.
Gowda’s candidature by myself has left at least 4 constituencies — Bengaluru North, Tumakuru, Mandya and Hassan — in political uncertainty. With Tumakuru and Bengaluru North now not considered ‘secure’ seats for Gowda’s stature, returning to his bastion of Hassan or Mandya may antagonise his grandsons Prajwal Hegde and Nikhil Kumaraswamy and could give room for family infighting.
