HD Kumaraswamy had vacated the Channapatna seat to contest LS polls. He now hopes to field his son Nikhil for the bypoll, while BJP’s C.P. Yogeshwar eyes the ticket.
The hotly-contested seats of Sira and Rajarajeshwari Nagar (RR Nagar) were won by Dr Rajesh Gowda, a new entrant, and N. Munirathna, a Congress rebel, respectively.
Former PM H.D. Deve Gowda’s Janata Dal (Secular) is faced with constant erosion in its support base, and did not manage to win even a single seat in Karnataka bypolls.
Latest trends show BJP will win 12 seats, taking tally to 118 in 222-member Karnataka assembly, though CM B.S. Yediyurappa will have new challenges to deal with.
French newspaper La Tribune earlier last week indicated that UAE withdrew from deal to fund EUR 3.5 billion. India is looking to order 114 new Rafales, which could include the F5.
China patiently invested capital, skill and technology in coal gasification. Unlike it, we won’t move from words to action. As crude prices decline, we lose interest.
