Bengaluru / Hubbaalli: The State Election Commission on Wednesday announced that the long selection was delayed to Hubballi-Dharwad, Bellagavi and Kalaburagi City Corporations will be held on September 3 and the results will be stated on September 6.
Although the results did not have a direct impact on the state of the government, the election would be a big test for the Chairman of the New Minister of Basavaraj Bommai because the party faced a poll for the first time under his leadership.
How the party performs at The Hustings can set the tone for the election that will come to Zilla and Taluk Panchayats and Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike.
Because the three corporations are in North Carnataka where JD does not have a real presence, it will be a direct battle between Congress and BJP.
While BJP emerged as the largest single party (a short seat of a simple majority) at Hubballi-Dharwad Corporation 82-Ward in 2013, Congress came to win in Kalaburagi which has 55 seats.
In the 58-Ward Belagavation Corporation, the election was not held on the party line in accordance with the pre-poll understanding among leaders from the district.
