As elections to the 224 Assembly seats in Karnataka draws near, the BJP in its fourth and final list has released names of candidates for Shivamogga and Manvi.
The ruling party has picked Channabasappa, an active RSS member and four-time corporator, for Shivamogga, denying a place to sitting MLA and senior BJP leader K S Eshwarappa's family.
This decision comes as a surprise, given Eshwarappa's long-standing association with the party and his son, K E Kantesh's, desire to run for office. The decision has set off murmurs in the party on the selection process and the role of family connections in securing tickets.
Eshwarappa, a former Deputy Chief Minister, had requested the party to not consider fielding him in the Assembly polls from Shivamogga. From Manvi, a ST reserve constituency, the party has picked B V Nayak as the candidate.
