Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao will meet Janata Dal (Secular) leader Deve Gowda today, but said the meeting has “nothing to do” with upcoming elections in Karnataka. Sources in the Congress, meanwhile, claim that the high command has asked Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to pick between Chamundeshwari and Badami seats, denting his plan to contest from two seats.
Congress’s first list of candidates has been finalised. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will contest from Chamundeshwari while no decision has been taken yet on Badami seat. The party has decided that Siddaramaiah’s son Dr. Yatheendra will contest from Varuna. Children of PWD Minister H C Mahadevappa, Home minister Ramalingareddy and Kolar MP K H Muniyappa will also contest the upcoming Karnataka assembly polls.
