Interestingly, veteran Congress leader K H Muniyappa, the seven-time MP and former Union Minister, has returned to state politics, and has been fielded by the party from Devanahalli, while his daughter and sitting MLA from KGF Roopakala M has once again got the ticket from the segment. Fight between two siblings, the sons of former Chief Minister late S Bangarappa, is expected once again in Sorab, with Congress fielding Madhu Bangarappa from the seat, while BJP is likely to field sitting MLA Kumar Bangarappa from the segment, which is the family bastion. Six women have made it to the first list- Kaneez Fatima, Laxmi Ravindra Hebbalkar, Dr. Anjali Nimbalkar, Roopakala M, Kusuma H, Sowmya R. Interestingly in the first list, the Congress has not finalised any candidate from Channapatna from where former Chief Minister and JD leader H D Kumaraswamy is contesting, and Shiggaavi, from where Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai is likely to be fielded by BJP.
