Tumakuru Lok Sabha constituency: Unique caste mix eludes easy predictions in this seat

The Hindu  

In Karnataka politics, where the land-owning Vokkaliga and Veerashaiva-Lingayat communities play a dominant role in the southern and northern regions, respectively, the Tumakuru Lok Sabha constituency is considered unique as both communities have considerable vote share that determine the electoral outcome. In the constituency, while the BJP is publicising Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s contribution, the Congress has countered it through its “guarantees”, besides raising the Centre-State issues over drought relief and tax sharing. JD workers, who worked with Congress workers to campaign for Mr. Deve Gowda in the last election, who eventually lost to Mr. Basavaraju by a narrow margin, are now forced to coordinate with the BJP. The Congress believes that it can win the seat due to lack of coordination among BJP and JD workers besides the reach of guarantees.
