Bengaluru: While the parties prepared to assembly Hangal and Sindgi Bypolls on October 30, there was still no clarity in which the camp would lead Kalaburagi City Corporation.
Kalaburagi civilian election, which was held on September 3, gave a cracked verdict: Congress won 27 seats on the 55 member council, emerged as the largest single party, BJP 23, JD (S) four and one.
JD (s) can play king makers, and Congress and BJP try to seduce alliances.
The party led by former HD Prime Minister Deve Gowda has demanded the position of mayor and felt comfortable with the speed of negotiations until the Bypoll schedule was announced on Tuesday.
Now, it needs to make decisions quickly while also given the potential impact on its prospects.
If JD chose BJP, Congress could call it a S safron party during the election campaign.
If you decide to align with the Congress again, BJP can sweep the failure of the 2018-19 coalition government.
“It’s a bit of a strict situation for us because we have stated in the context of Bypolls that we will maintain the same distance from the BJP and Congress and that we will win the contest itself.
If we join hands with one of these parties in Kalaburagi, steps This may prove harm, “said JD (s) officials.
While Gowda was approached by Veterans of Congress and opposition leader at Rajya Sabha Malikarjun Kharge, his son HD Kumaraswamy was related to BJP through the Chairman of the Minister of Basavara Basavai.
JD (s) is very sure of his position in Kalaburagi and refuses to provide an easy party option even when the election for the mayor and deputy mayor continues to be delayed.
Senior members JD believes that Kalaburagi’s call will not have bearings at Bypolls and that the party is able to handle both problems independently.
“Kalagurgi Corporation is a local problem and will not have consequences on Bypolls assembly.
Party leadership will take the last call based on the input of local functionaries,” said JD (s) Secretary General NH Konareddy.
Congress MLA Priyank Kharge claimed that BJP delayed the election of the Mayor considering Bypolls.
“I think the government will not schedule it until the Bypolls have ended,” he added.
The Minister of Development of Urban Byrathi Basavaraj rejected the allegations, saying that the election of the Mayor would be held soon and JD will return BJP.
“It was delayed for several administrative reasons.
I will direct the regional commissioner and the election process will be finished soon,” he said.
Meanwhile, JD wants to maintain Sindgi’s seat, and Kumaraswamy told Tuesday that there are five candidates for this contest.
A name tends to be completed on Thursday.
In Hangal, JD has announced Nayaz Shaik as his candidate.
