Public campaigning for the byelections to Bagalkot and Davangere South Assembly constituencies in Karnataka has concluded. The bypolls, necessitated by the demise of former Ministers H.Y. Meti and Shamanur Shivashankarappa, will be held on April 9 and votes will be counted on May 4.
Campaigning for the byelections to Bagalkot and Davangere South Assembly constituencies ended on Tuesday evening. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar made last-minute efforts to woo voters. In Bagalkot, Mr. Siddaramaiah campaigned for Congress candidate Umesh Meti, while former Ministers Govind Karjol and B. Sriramulu canvassed for BJP candidate Viranna Charantimath. In Davangere South, D.K. Shivakumar led the Congress campaign, accompanied by Minister M.C. Sudhakar and former Indian cricket captain Mohammad Azharuddin. The BJP's campaign in Davangere was relatively low-key, with no prominent leaders present on the last day. The bypolls were necessitated by the demise of former Ministers H.Y. Meti and Shamanur Shivashankarappa.
