Bangalore: Chiranjeevi likely to contest from Chikkaballapur


Bangalore: Chiranjeevi likely to contest from Chikkaballapur

Daijiworld Media Network - Bangalore

Bangalore, Mar 10: In what may come as a surprise to many, the Congress is likely to field union tourism minister Chiranjeevi in Chikkaballapur, of which union minister Dr Veerappa Moily is the sitting MP. Moily was earlier touted as the Lok Sabha candidate from the constituency, but the absence of his name from the party's first list of candidates, especially when all other sitting Congress MPs in the state have been fielded, has given rise to much speculation.

According to highly placed sources, during the last general elections Moily managed to win the constituency due to weak candidates fielded by both the JD(S) and the BJP. However, this time these two parties in a bid to fulfill their dreams of winning the parliamentary elections have reportedly decided to field strong candidates to decimate Moily, in other words, the Congress. This is also the reason for the Congress to not announce Moily as a candidate from this constituency, source said.

In the much-awaited 2014 general elections, JD(S) has decided to field Anitha Kumaraswamy and as far as BJP is concerned, B N Bacchegowda will contest from the constituency. It is said that Moily himself may be reluctant to face the competition from the strong opposition candidates.

Moreover, Chikkaballapur is dominated by the Balija community. Chiranjeevi who hails from the same community may have a better chance to woo the voters and give tough competition to his counterparts from the JD(S) and the BJP. It is said that after the chaos over Telangana, Chiranjeevi has diverted his attention to Karnataka to yet again reserve his seat in the parliament.

The fact that Congress withheld Moily's name from the first list of candidates stands testimony to the party's reluctance to field him. Superstar Chiranjeevi meanwhile is said to be readying himself to test his luck from the controversial turf, that is if the Congress top brass gives its nod.

    That's the problem with paid illogical trolls. They think that whatever BJP does is right and holy.If you don't agree with BJP then you are considered a Bangaldeshi or pakistani.

    The trolls have some disorder!!

    Dear reader, a candidate can opt any constituency to contest election at any part of the country for lokha sabha election except in Kaashmir it seems. However, such candidate must have full hope of being elected from where they contest. That is India! never come out of some old trendz. Here one candidate can contest maximum in two constituencies. If they win at both the constituency, then they should give up any one of the constituency and call for BYE-ELECTION, what an idea surji? Finally who will be suffering? It's definitely we the VOTERS!! and our REVENUE !!!

    If a Telugu Film Hero can contest for Lok Sabha from Karnataka then why we should not allow Dubbing of Telugu Films into Kannada Language ?
    The Double face of Kannada Film-land people will be exposed if Chiru is allowed to contest LS election from Karnataka.

    Do you have the same question to Narendra Modi who is planning to contest from Varanasi? You can check yesterday's news on Zee News..Did you have any objections when Sushma Swaraj contested from Bellary? If you don't have an objection, then why are poking nose here? If other people are allowed to contest from any place in India, being an Indian, Chiranjeevi can contest from Chickballapur. The nation comes first..then state. First, understand that we are Indian's.

    If its true then Moiley will full time settle in Mangalore and develop plots to make his long time Foe Poojaary's defeat thus denying the later the truth of Modi's Marital Status. Knowing Modi's Marital Status is very important for the development of Dakshina Kannada according to our congis.

    Yes Mr. Sayed firoz,
    Good comments, as of now AAP is the only pro peoples' party.
    We should vote them wherever they are likely to win and boost their morale.
    However, if AAP is not likely to win, better not to waste our vote.
    We should vote OTHER PARTY OF OUR CHOICE, vote intelligently to ensure our votes are not wasted or divided.

    Moily won by a whisker last time! & though both BJP & JD(S) had weak candidates they came very close!! Now, Congress has done the right thing by fielding Chiranjeevi they can salvage caste based votes in that constituency! But still sad he has to contest from this obscure place rather than Vijayawada or Tirupati or better still Hyderabad!!

    I want our Kudlada Kuvara Sanmanya Shri Veerappa Moily (or any other Kannadiga) to contest.

    I might have blamed Moily like anything, in the past. But when it comes to Kannada or Karnataka, I stand above all political lines. I do not want this useless TELGI to enter our state. Similarly, I don't like useless Venkaiah Naidu is getting RS ticket from Karnataka.

    People of Chickballapur complain that Moily was not reachable to common people in last 5 years. When a person from Karnataka is not reachable to people, how come a neighboring state person will be available to people, who does not know our language and culture?

    I know Moily will lose this time as per the internal survey done by congress. But I request him to contest. Don't make way for neighboring state waste fellows.

    Congress, BJP or JDS. We should be united as Kannadigas..

    Jai Ho Veerappa Moiliji....Jai Karnataka.. Jai Kannada....
