Jagadish Shettar’s name does not figure in BJP first list

The Hindu  

The former Chief Minister and six-time MLA Jagadish Shettar, who has been asked to retire from electoral politics by the BJP high command, has not made it to the first list of candidates of the party that was announced late on Tuesday night. However, the party has not announced ticket for Hubballi-Dharwad Central Assembly Constituency which is represented by Mr. Shettar, leaving the Shettar camp in a dilemma. He has requested the party high command to “treat a former Chief Minister with respect” and allow him to contest again. However, the party high command seems to be weighing its options again and is yet to announce the name of any candidate for the Central Assembly constituency.
