Bangalore: Congress first list - Moily's name missing, party fields other sitting MPs

Daijiworld Media Network – Bangalore (SP)

Bangalore, Mar 9: Out of the first nation-wide list of candidates chosen to fight the coming Lok Sabha election on Congress symbol released by the party on Saturday March 8, 14 represent constituencies in Karnataka.  Surprisingly, the name of union minister, Veerappa Moily, a sitting MP from Chikkaballapur, does not figure in the list.

As per the list, eight sitting Lok Sabha members from the state have been given a chance to fight this election again. The other six are new faces. The party has withheld announcement of its candidates from 14 constituencies in Karnataka. It is said that out of these, there is tussle between different aspirants in six constituencies, while the party wants to field three state ministers from other constituencies.

The candidates who have got the party’s nod are, Mallikarjun Kharge (Gulbarga), Dharam Singh (Bidar), Jayaprakash Hegde (Udupi-Chikmagalur), Divyaspandana Ramya (Mandya), H Vishwanath (Mysore), R Dhruvanarayan (Chamarajanagar), D K Suresh (Bangalore Rural), Nandan Nilekani (Bangalore South), Prakash Rathod (Bijapur), A Manju (Hassan), S P Muddahanume Gowda (Tumkur), S S Mallikarjun (Davanagere), N Y Hanumantappa (Bellary), and K H Muniyappa (Kolar).

The party is yet to finalize its candidates for Chikkaballapur, Bagalkot, Bangalore Central, Belgaum, Chikkodi, Chitradurga, Haveri, Dharwad, Koppal, Richur, Shimoga, and Karwar constituencies.  It is said that the party is desirous of fielding ministers, Prakash Hukkeri, from Chikkodi constituency, H Anjaneya from Chitradurga, and either speaker, Kagodu Timmappa or minister, Kimmane Ratnakar, from Shimoga.

Congress party had clarified in the past that all the sitting MPs will get tickets this time. However, there is no plausible reason why the party has chosen to withhold the name of union minister, Veerappa Moily, while bringing out the list. Moily had suffered a setback in the form of rejection of the nomination filed by his son, Harsha Moily, for the internal election being held to decide on the party candidate from Dakshina Kannada constituency.

    Just a few seconds back there was discussion about this in Suvarna News. I don't know how many of you have watched. According to them, he is denied ticket because his involvement in the huge reliance scam and Kejriwal directly targeted him. Congress high command has understood that Moily can't win and looking for alternative to him. Moily will be given RS berth.

    I don't say Suvarna Newz analysis and reasoning is always true. But 70-80% of their reasoning are on reality.

    Ismail Perinje,

    Please let us know which political STRATEGY it is. Moily is a congress stalwart and one of the most popular congress leaders of Karnataka. If he has not been given ticket in first round, it is unlikely to be given.

    Very good decision by Congress High Command.
    a. Veerappa Moily had done the blunder by allowing his son Harsha to file nomination in Mangalore for internal election against stalwart Janardhana Poojary which was totally unacceptable because he also wanted to contest election from Bangalore.
    b. Being Harsha is out for the race in DK. Now the Congress High command will put tactful pressure of Veerappa Moily not to inferior in the internal Mangalore election.
    c. Chances both Janardhana Poojary and Veerappa Moily getting nomination from Congress OR both may not get the nomination.

    Moily has to just advise all his supporters to support Janardhana Poojary in Congress DK internal election. If not, he is out from the race. This is my observation.

    If Moiley does not get ticket this time then the defeat of Janardhan Poojary is eminent coz Moiley will settle in Mangalore & full time work in bringing down POOjariji as he does not have any work in Cbellapur. ATleast by keeping him busy in Chikkabellapur, congress can focus on Strategies for Poojary's win in Mlore.

DK is having around 12 MLAs & 4 ministers,..nearly after one year Congress laid stone for project, why they failed to stop the project?
