First-time Congress candidates literally sweating it out in Raichur Lok Sabha seat, Shorapur Assembly segment

The Hindu  

Congress candidates in both the Raichur parliamentary constituency and the Shorapur Assembly constituency where bypolls are being held, are literally sweating it out during campaigning in the rural areas of the two constituencies under scorching heat, while reaching out to people as they are facing their first election battle in their political career. G. Kumar Naik, a 1990 Karnataka cadre IAS officer, is contesting in Raichur the parliamentary constituency, and Raja Venugopal Naik, an engineering graduate, is contesting in Shorapur, which is facing byelections due to the demise of Member of Legislative Assembly Raja Venkatappa Naik. Raja Venugopal Naik is seeking votes explaining the benefits that people are getting under the guarantee schemes being implemented by the State government, while also playing the sympathy card of his father’s death. The BJP, which has taken the elections seriously, has fielded incumbent MP Raja Amareshwar Naik in Raichur and the former Minister Narasimha Naik in the Shorapur bypolls.
