MySuru: Bypoll to Mysuru City Corporation Ward 36 (Yaraganahalli), scheduled for September 3, is likely to see a difficult battle between Congress and JD.
While the opposition leader Siddaramaiiah focused on the winner of this nobility, JD has experienced a setback with a congressional candidate meeting JD (s) MLA G T devegowda and looked for His blessings.
JD (s) has announced Sleelavathi, who is a brother of brother-in-law from the Mayor disqualified, Rukmini Madegowda, as his candidate.
Rajani Annaiiah, who opposed Congress from Bangsal in 2018, lost to Rukmini [JD)] with a thin margin of 393 votes.
Rajani has filed a petition in the MySuru District Court who was looking for disqualified Rukmini by citing the wrong asset declaration when submitting a nomination, and also won this case.
Even though Rukmini approached the High Court, it enforced a lower court ruling.
At that time, Rukmini had become the mayor.
After the verdict, he got out of his post.
Sumber JD said Devegowda supported JD (s) Madegowda leader in winning the ZP election and also his wife Rukmini in winning the company’s election.
But when he remained neutral in the election of the Mayor, Madegowda (loyal to Devegowda) moved closer to him and JD MLA S R Mahesh.
He managed to collect the Mayor’s post who was coveted to his wife Rukmini.
This made Devegowda annoyed, they stated.
Both Rajani and LeelasVathi have begun to campaign in the ward, and tend to submit their nomination letter on August 23, the last day to do so.
BJP, who lost the deposit was last time, had not finished his candidate.
Sources say there are six candidates for party tickets.
BJP Senior Corporator Shivakumar told Tii that District Minister S T Somashekar would vote and give the name of the candidate on Saturday.
While the Congress has collaborated with JD (s), BJP tries to captivate the last to rule MCC for the first time.
