CM Siddaramaiah keen to finalise LS candidates for Mysuru-Kodagu

New Indian Express  

MYSURU: With the Lok Sabha polls fast approaching and the BJP-JDS alliance likely to start seat-sharing talks to gear up party workers to take on the ruling Congress, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is keen to wrest both Mysuru and Chamarajanagar in his home turf, and will hold a meeting to finalise the candidates. Knowing well that it would be a tough call in the Old Mysuru region after the JDS and BJP joined hands, the Congress doesn’t want to take chances, and hopes to get a head start. Siddaramaiah will himself hold a one-to-one meeting with legislators as there are three serious contenders among 13 aspirants for the Mysuru-Kodagu Lok Sabha seat and 12 aspirants for the Chamarajanagar LS constituency. Siddaramaiah looks to reclaim Chamarajanagar Meanwhile, separate meetings will be held of legislators from Chamarajanagar Lok Sabha constituency to pick the candidate so they can get started with the spadework, and organise party workers and leaders.
