Though Bangarappa moved to the SP, BJP and even floated every other regional birthday party, Shivalli remained a staunch Congressman. He didn't lose hope even after shedding the 2003 and 2008 assembly elections. His consistent efforts and hook up with the folks in his constituency ensured he gained in 2013 and 2018.
