Karnataka Lok Sabha Election  

Former PM HD Deve Gowda, his grandson Prajwal Revanna, son Revanna kick started a teary-eyed election campaign of the JD(S) for the Lok Sabha elections in Hassan, Karnataka.

Even though Congress has left the Mandya seat for the Janata Dal (Secular), Congress workers there are not ready to support the JD(S). Instead, they are favouring Ambareesh's wife Sumalatha's candidature.

BJP leader Jayaprakash Hegde's supporters are said to be lobbying against Shobha Karandlaje and demanding ticket for Hedge in Udupi-Chikkamagalur constituency for this year’s Lok Sabha election.

In Andhra Pradesh, the BJP finds itself in a curious situation. The TDP and the Congress, after a short-lived bonhomie — shorter than Kim Kardashian marriage with Kris Humphries — are to now contest separately. This will naturally split the votes and work in favour of the BJP

Kumaraswamy hailed the people for their support to the coalition government of the Janata Dal (Secular) and the Congress and said the two parties would contest the 2019 polls together in all the 28 constituencies in the state.

Though there has been no confirmation from former cricket player Srinath in this regard, it is said that BJP is trying to convince him to contest from Hassan constituency in Karnataka for the 2019 polls.
