Shivakumar seems to be the latest winner in the war over Vokkaliga heartland

The Hindu  

The win for the Congress in the Channapatna Assembly constituency byelectionis being seen as revenge extracted by Deputy Chief Minister and Vokkaliga leader D.K. It is likely to provide a personal boost within the party to the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president who is believed to be waiting in the wings to replace Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in the future. Congress sources said that though the drubbing of the party suffered in the Old Mysore region in the Lok Sabha election cannot be salvaged, the Channapatna byelection results have provided him a boost within the party and increased his stake in the community. The source also pointed out the “loyalty” of Mr. Shivakumar towards the party despite being hounded by investigative agencies besides the threats and offers made to him to join the BJP since 2017. Mr. Shivakumar is the latest winner,” a Congress source said, suggesting that the situation in this political hotbed remains dynamic.
