Bengaluru, Apr 6: In the long-delayed second list of Congress party, which was finally released on Thursday, the two senior BJP leaders who had resigned their Legislative Council seats – Baburao Chinchanasur and N Y Gopalakrishna – have been accommodated. While Chinchanasur has been fielded from Gurmitkal in Kalaburgi district with N Y Gopalakrishna is the Congress candidate from Molakalmuru reserved seat for Scheduled Tribes. 

Youth leader Prasad Raj Kanchan has been given the election ticket to contest from the Udupi constituency. As expected, the Congress gave the ticket to a candidate from the Mogaveera community. Prasad Raj has already started campaigning. It is said that that three names were in the final list for the Congress ticket from Udupi. Finally, Prasad Raj Kanchan was selected.

However, senior JD(S) leader and former MLA from Kadur in Chikkamagaluru district Y S V Datta, who has been considered the right hand man of JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda, has been denied the Kadur district which has been given to Congressman Anand K S.

The Badami seat held by Congress opposition leader and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has been allotted to Bheemsen B Chimmankatti, who was elected from the constituency earlier and had become a minister. The Chamundeshwari seat in Mysuru has been allotted to Siddegowda.

There are no major surprises in the second list of 42 candidates with former minister Vinay Kulkarni from his Dharwad seat, former ministers Iqbal Ansari from Gangavati, Hullappa Meti from Bagalkot, B R Yavagal from Nargund, Kimmane Ratnakar from Thirthahalli and Santhosh Lad from Khalghatgi.

The Congress party has already released its first list of 124 candidates. With today’s second list, a total of 186 candidates have been announced by the Congress party. The remaining list of 18 candidates is yet to be announced. The JD(S) has announced its first list of 95 candidates. The ruling BJP is yet to announce its list of candidates, which may come in the next few days.

Former Chief Minister Dharam Singh’s son Vijay Dharam Singh is fielded from Basavakalyan. The Melkote seat is left for Sarvodaya Karnataka Paksha for Darshan Puttannaiah, leader of the farmers.

The three candidates announced from Bengaluru are: S Balraj Gowda (Yeshwanthpur), Keshava Rajanna B (Yelahanka) and Keshava Murthy (Mahalakshmi Layout).

    Udupi is very tough constituency. Its the land of our own Choba Aunty and other BJP hardcores. The party presence from state and national level is really strong here. When a popular veteran like Pramod Madhwaraj could not find success, its really going to be tough for a new comer like Kanchan who is unheard off. Wish Congress had launched him an year of 2 back . My best wishes are with Kanchan.

    On, What basis was this guy given a ticket? No one for that matter, will say 'community' first , when it comes to vote. These young candidates should be first tried at Corporator or Panchayat level . Based on their performance they should be given a ticket.

    Reshmi. . the issues is, Shoba , Nalin have come from grass root levels as ordinary foot soldiers. They then moved to Panchayat Level and made their mark there. Moreover during elections , they participated actively giving fiery xhitty speeches, even if they did not contest . So every Tom , dick and Harry knew them years before they contested . Thats not the case here. I hailing from Udupi do not know this Prasad guy. Also there is no Charismatic leader in Congress to support these guys. So its a very very tough chance! Even Pramod quit for the same reason that he could not perform nor win.

    I personally feel congress had a outside chance if it had fielded Krishnamoorthy Acharya.... This guy is not at all known to anybody outside where he used to play without dress in his locality... Rank bad choice... Bhatta or Pramod will trounce him by miles...

    All the best Prasad.. every seat is important. . main issue is CORRUPTION.. UNEMPLOYMENT.. ADANI-chaiwalla freindship .. PRICE RISE.. all these should be exploited & public should be made aware of these again & AGAIN.even though CONGRESS is going to win but NEVER take anything for granted.. WORK HARD . Dont fall to RSS/BJPs communal trap..Bharat Jalavo Party & godi media are doing/will be doing anything, stick to above issues ONLY. And beware of EVM.. never ever believe even for a second BJP would play honestly ..

    When the old Congress veterans followed this route they could not convince people and lost elections back to back. How do you assume that a brand new comer who has not contested a panchayat electoin can change the mood of voters with this rhetoric.

    I doubt yaar. What is the strategy here? Not heard of this candidate so far. Nor has anything credible for any value add. Kanchan may get a very few percentage of his community votes . Then what about the rest of Udupi. ????? No one knows him for Jack!

    real kujuma, kodial, main problem with the Congress leaders & its supporters is they always in the dream that people are fed up with BJP & will Vote for Congress!!!!!!. But BJP leaders even though they sense the defeat, they will do the ground work & keep in touch with the people. Most of the time because of Congress leaders laziness & over confidence BJP will win!!!!!.

    For Gods sake. Lets be pragmatic whilst commenting. Not just for the sake of it. Do you think BJP is going to give victory to congress in a platter ? Will all vote for Congress in Udupi? Please note, besides BJP , Congress has many other hurdles to win a majority. Moreover I , residing in Udupi have not heard of this Prasadraj. Nor have other Udupi Congress crowd. You think in a matter of month, he can sway the Udupi votes to his kitty? So how is victory guaranteed!!!!?

    Mogaveera community is NOT the deciding factor in Udupi. Prasad is just popular withing his locality only amongst youngsters . He is not Pramod Madhwaraj. Prasad may get some votes on that basis from his community, but not as a whole. Hardcore BJP and its chelas will vote for BJP, even if they support him externally. So not going to be easy.
