thebalanced.newsKarnataka Bypolls See BJP Candidate Announcements Amid Congress Internal Disputes
Bypolls in Karnataka's Davanagere South and Bagalkot constituencies, triggered by the deaths of incumbent MLAs, have intensified internal disputes within the ruling Congress party over candidate selection. While BJP has announced candidates and filed nominations, Congress faces factional tensions, especially within the Shamanur and Meti families. Samarth Shamanur's early dual nomination in Davanagere South has complicated Congress's position, drawing criticism from BJP. Congress leaders, including Randeep Singh Surjewala, are engaged in discussions to finalize candidates before the March 23 deadline.
