BJP's 2nd list creates rift : Udupi - Shobha, Mysore - Pratapsimha

Thu, Mar 13 2014 09:30:27 AM

Bangalore, Mar 13 (DHNS) : The State BJP has recommended to the party’s central election committee that former minister Shobha Karandlaje be fielded from the Udupi-Chikmagalur Lok Sabha constituency, former minister and MP C H Vijayashankar from Hassan and journalist Pratap Simha from Mysore.

The State election committee, which met in Bangalore on Wednesday to finalise candidates for eight Lok Sabha constituencies, also recommended the candidature of former Pollution Control Board chairman B Shivalingaiah from Mandya and former legislator Bethamangala Narayanaswamy from Kolar. MLC Veeraiah too was aiming for the Kolar seat. The BJP has already announced candidates for 20 constituencies.

Party sources said it was at the instance of former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa that the name of Karandlaje was finalised for Udupi-Chikmagalur. Chikmagalur MLA C T Ravi had strongly opposed her candidature.

Yeddyurappa had insisted that his loyalist and sitting MP G S Basavaraj be allowed to re-contest from Tumkur. A majority of the party leaders are against Basavaraj for his alleged anti-party activities. A final decision will be taken at the party’s central election committee meeting in New Delhi on Thursday. If winning ability was the only factor, then Yeddyurappa may succeed in getting Basavaraj the ticket.

The party has recommended journalist Pratap Simha for Mysore, though he had sought ticket from Udupi-Chikmagalur. Simha works with a Kannada daily in Bangalore and is known for his pro-Hindu stance. He is from Hassan. By fielding Simha, the party is planning to polarise the Vokkaliga and pro-Narendra Modi votes in the constituency.

Simha’s candidature from Mysore is likely to upset Vijayashankar, who had represented Mysore two times in Parliament. Vijayashankar was keen that he be allowed to contest from Mysore. Sources close to Vijayashankar said he was least interested in contesting from Hassan. However, the BJP thinks that Vijayashankar, being a Kuruba, would be able to garner his community’s votes. The Lingayats would stand by the BJP. These two factors may help in fighting Deve Gowda.

Recently this Bettale Pratap Simha had written in a very nasty manner against Aam Aadmi Party & Kejriwal by making baseless charges in his notorious Column in Kannada Prabha.
Hence, now the Number one enemy of AAP workers in our Coorg district is this Bettale Simha. Coorg comes under Mysore Constituency where this Naked Man is contesting.
BJP will be in fourth Position in Mysore after Cong, JDS & AAP.

You don’t have any moral right to call Prabhakar Bhat and Pratap Sihma are hatemongers? What you are spreading in this DW forum? The same thing what they are spreading. Vomiting the venoms against one particular party and its supporters (targeting one community) while hiding all the flaws of the party you belong. Only difference is that they are doing it larger scale. Given the chance people like you will also grow to that level one day.

Pratap Simha has to come out of his hate mentality and biased vision. Other than NAMO factor "Bettale" man is zero.

Whereas Shobhakka is able candidate and can do pro-constituency work. It will be difficult to win against candidate like JPH. We can expect a tough fight in Udupi provided - Haladi supporters of Udupi and Vokkaliga's in Chikmagalore favor Shobhakka.

As per my estimate both seat gone from the hands of BJP.

Feku only enjoys abusing others, but has no concrete solutions to problems. Do blind followers of Feku know that he has given the gas, fertilizer ministry to Mukesh Ambani's in-law in Gujarat???

Do you even know how Mukesh is indirectly connected to inflation?

Hope you know that, in last 10 years, there is UPA govt in centre. And you blame Modi for gas price hike !!! how funny.!! It is nothing but utter failure of UPA which failed to control Inflation.

Please don't forget that, India is a democratic country and all Indians are given the right to support any political parties and their leaders.

If you notice most of the time we BJP supporters blames Congress leaders & their corruption and not people who support congress. But you people always target BJP supporters instead of blaming BJP leaders.

We have a beautiful and prosperous country where everyone can live happily which is currently polluted by Congress and its ideologies. I don’t object you to support any party. But don’t tell Modi is reason for gas price hike….. I cannot control my laugh !!!

Because Naked Simha & his boss - Editor Vishveshwara Bhat are very close to Shakuni Anantu. Vishvesh Bhat was Personal Secretary to Shakuni Anantu before joining Vijaya Karnataka as Editor. So it is Shakuni who got ticket to Simha.

Shobha Karandlaje is Arey-Bhashe Gowda, and Arey-bhashe Gowdas are not considered as Vokkaligas in Chikmagalur Area. So, Vokkaligas of Chikmagalur may not wholeheartedly support Shobhakka.

Since majority youth made up their mind to vote for Modi... there will be a close fight between Congress & BJP in Karnataka. If even BJP manage to get 50:50 it will be a serious setback to Congress.

hi kunte,

i am not able to stop my laugh when you people support aap.

aap is nothing but " B " italian congress party.

kejriwal gave details of corruption of sheila aunty and won with huge margin in delhi.

after that took support of same corrupt party.

result : now sheila aunty is governor in kerala.

where is you aap ?

he is CRAZYWALA AND NOT KEJRIWALA.

Pratap Simha got G-category house site in the name of his wife in Mysore city given free by Yeddy govt. That is why he writes so much in favour of BJP in Kannada Prabha.
Basically no one knows him in Mysore district.

He got Site under handicap quota in Mysore as his wife is said to be slightly handicapped. But it is said that he returned that site as some people raised objection about him not being a permanent resident of Mysore. In Mysore he is still considered as an outsider and also not pure Vokkaliga.

It is stated in this News that Shobha started her career from Puttur which comes under Udupi-Chikmagalur Constituency.
But this is not correct. Puttur Comes under Mangalore Constituency.

Without the support of Haladi Srinivas Shetty, the BJP can never win in this Constituency. Moreover, if AAP gives ticket to some good honest candidate, then the majority of the younger generation will vote for AAP inspite of knowing that the AAP will not win. And in the absence of AAP, these younger generation votes would have gone to BJP.

@nagesh nayak, Bangalore, It will be the repeat of same your koti koti Yeddi’s Karnataka saga at center too. It is known fact that congress is going to be decimated in this election, not because of Modi wave or out of love for communal BJP, but because of the mis-governance and scams they have been involved in. Now congress will take some time to eat and munch their booty, so until then it is time for BJP to loot India.. Only time will tell.. who is better off..
