Record 50 candidates enter race in Channapatna bypoll

Hindustan Times  

The Channapatna assembly bypoll has drawn an unprecedented number of candidates, with officials saying that at least 50 candidates filing nomination papers. According to a Janata Dal party worker, motivations vary, as some candidates reportedly enter the race for symbolic reasons, such as seeing their names on the ballot or serving as “dummy” candidates to support prominent contenders and share in campaign expenses. A surprising twist emerged when senior BJP leader Bandi Ranganath Vair, a Tumkur resident, filed a nomination as a BJP candidate on the final nomination day, despite Nikhil Kumaraswamy running from the BJP-JD alliance. “The number of candidates doesn’t affect the party candidate’s victory,” stated Ramanagara DCC president S Gangadhar, adding that he expects several candidates to withdraw. Meanwhile, BJP state media wing coordinator Karunakar expressed confidence in Nikhil Kumaraswamy’s chances, saying, “We are confident that Nikhil Kumaraswamy will win the election.”
