Karnataka By Polls  

It’s high time for the Congress to soul-search after its mortifying defeat in the Karnataka by-elections. Instead of blaming BJP, the Congress should provide an effective alternative. 

Karnataka BJP president Yeddyurappa has urged his party men to shun foreign jaunts and honeymoon plans in a bid to help BJP candidates win the upcoming by-elections in Chincholi and Kundagol. He also confidently stated that several bigwigs across party lines would end up losing in the Lok Sabha polls

 

On May 19, two Assembly seats in Karnataka (Chincholi and Kundagol) will go to by-polls, necessitated by Umesh Jadhav quitting the Congress and sitting Congress MLA CS Shivalli passing away. The BJP is betting its money on SI Chikkanagoudar from Kundalgod and either Ramachandra or Avinash (Umesh Jadhav’s brother and son respectively) for Chincholi
