Umesh Jadha  

Three Lok Sabha MPs made it to Modi 2.0 Cabinet from Karnataka this time. But here is the list of five MPs who expected Cabinet berths but missed the bus.

Mallikarjun Kharge the veteran congress leader who has never lost an election is going to face tough competition this time

 

Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge won the last Lok Sabha election against BJP's Revu Naik Belamagi and has also won the assembly election 10 times. This time, he faces his former colleague and now arch-rival Umesh Jadhav of the BJP
 

By-poll is being conducted in Chincholi and Kundagol constituencies of Karnataka. People, including a pregnant woman, stood in long queues in Chincholi to cast their votes. BJP’s candidate from Kundagol visited Doddoppa temple before casting his vote.

In his campaign speech in Chincholi, Karnataka, Basangouda Patil Yatnal, senior BJP leader criticised Mallikarjun Kharge, the leader of opposition and former Prime Minister Deve Gowda for resorting to family politics and other issues 

Avinash Jadhav, the BJP candidate from Karnataka's Chincholi and also the son of Umesh Jadhav has decided not to appear for three of the four papers of MD Medicine, due to his political commitments

BJP’s candidate from Kalaburagi, Karnataka, Umesh Jadhav has held Congress responsible for his daughter’s failure in her pre-university exams. He said that consistent allegations by the Congress about him having taken Rs 50 crore as bribe to defect to the BJP has had an effect on her, as people in her college began to question her about it

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

BJP'S Kalaburagi candidate Umesh Jadhav, on rounds in his constituency on polling day, exuded confidence and declared "I have won"

Sunny Deol is not the first to join BJP in recent days. Here is a consolidated list of leaders who either jumped the ship or simply walked directly to the saffron side.

Mallikarjun Kharge cast his vote in the Kalaburagi constituency today (April 23). The Congress leader sounded confident of yet another victory over BJP candidate Umesh Jadhav
 

BJP candidate Umesh Jadhav contesting from Kalaburagi constituency, cast his vote in Chincholi which falls under the Bidar Lok Sabha constituency.

Mallikarjun Kharge has been accused of indulging in nepotism, which has upset a few Congress leaders in his constituency Kalaburagi in Karnataka. The Congress leader's son Priyank Kharge spoke about how this Lok Sabha election will bring in a sea change in top leadership.

Mallikarjun Kharge, the leader of opposition in Lok Sabha, runs the threat of facing an ignominious defeat in Kalaburagi, Karnataka. All thanks to his alleged nepotism or “putravyamoh” for his son Priyank Kharge, his loyalists feel let down. Such is the palpable threat that Kharge has not even visited Maharashtra, for which he is the election in-charge, and remains in Kalaburagi, trying his best to turn the tide in his favour.

Three Jadhavs - Shankar Jadhav, Vijay Jadhav and Sarva Janata Party have filed their nominations in Kalaburagi. The move to field these namesakes is as an attempt to confuse people and split votes
