Will JD(S) MLA Sharana Gowda Kandkur support BJP in the coming elections?

The Hindu  

As the election for Parliament approaches closure, political activities are gaining momentum in Yadgir district. Mr. Kandkur contested on the JD ticket and got elected from Gurmitkal in 2023 when his late father, Nagana Gowda Kadkur, retired from electoral politics due to age-related health issues. According to followers, the JD alliance with the BJP has forced Mr. Kandkur to avoid possible meetings with Mr. Kumarswamy. Sources close to Mr. Kandkur said that he has not yet decided whether he has to extend his support to the candidate from the BJP and work for him in the coming parliamentary elections. “If Mr. Kandkur remained silent or neutral, the workers and followers would support the candidates as per their own wish,” another party worker said.
