Question of contesting
Who is going to contest the Bengaluru South constituency from the BJP ? The death of union minister Ananth Kumar, a six-time MP from constituency, is giving rise to speculation. The party feels it has a chance of retaining the seat only if Kumar’s wife Tejaswini contests. But she has been steadfast in avoiding politics so far.
United in stand?
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and National Conference coming together? The idea could not have been countenanced a few years ago, given the difference of approach in the politics of the two parties. But now, the proposal is being actively discussed.
