Bypoll to 3 Karnataka Assembly Seats April 9

Bangalore, March 12, (IANS): Three Karnataka assembly constituencies will go to polls on April 9 to fill vacancies created by the resignation of two Congress and one Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) legislators, the election commission announced on Saturday. 

 
The constituencies are Chennapatna, Jagalur (reserved for Scheduled Tribes) and Bangarapet (reserved for Scheduled Castes). Chennapatna was represented by the JD-S and the other two by Congress.

All three legislators resigned in October last year and have since aligned with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.

The Election Commission said though the polling would take place on April 9, counting of votes will be on May 13 along with the counting of votes of assembly polls in Assam, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry.

The formal notification will be issued on March 16 starting the process of filing nominations. Last date for withdrawals is March 26.

    Those corrupt MLA's who resigned should not be allowed to compete in by election. I hope JDS n Congres fight together and defeat corrupt BJP. If both JDS n Congress combine cannot defeat BJP? its better for them to sit quitely in opposition for the rest of 5 yrs period.

    Dear Mr Ismail k perinje,
    I agree with you that corruption is prevailing in BJP.I have been observing that many people are waiting for an opportunity to comment with exaggeration blaming the govt for everything even though the issue in question is in any way not linked to state administration.
    Most of the comments describe figures in crores either mostly in single or double digits.I suppose that it is difficult for many to think or calculate beyond those small figures.You have not commented when CWG,2G scam etc became public.Probably it was difficult to for you to imagine.One
    needs to have good logic and command in arithmetics to understand the magnitude of these scams.Avoid writing with established impressions.Write your view based on your own observations.Make us enjoy reading the comments.

    The cycle is as follows .Huge Bribes are paid by BJP for the elected MLA from opposition for defecting into BJP a Gift of Cabinet post or President of a board or allow that mla to make money by corruotion as much as he can or hush up cases against him etc.Recent Video exposed by Kumar that a BJP Mla openly bribing opposition MLAS is totally hushed up by Yediyurappa.The Mla who takes bribes then uses this money to buy local leaders bribes the voters & then wins the election .

    Best thing is like Tunisia,egypt and other countries people must get up in peaceful way.But the problem is people here themselves are electing corrupt MLAs & encouraging them & so then how can we expect revolt frm such people?. With indian system is so weak towards these kind of elements. corrupt elements also know how to go arpound the system . A most corrupt man can prove he is the most clean by proving right documents in court!

    Manvit, Kudla, it is beyond doubt that BJP Karnataka, by it's illgotten money manupulates election result for it's favor!The last alleged 28 crores of rupees for Yeddy's School Trust from bussinessmen are of clean resources?It is clear and writing on the wall.Disunity amoung secular minded parties are main draw back for BJP's win.
