Bypolls: Pick of candidates tough for BJP, less so for Congress, JD(S)
The Hindu
BJP has many aspirants who are vying for ticket in both Hangal and Sindgi
With the notification for the byelections to Hangal and Sindgi Assembly constituencies slated for Friday, the race for the party ticket has become intense in the BJP with aspirants making all-out efforts to woo the party high command.
Relatively, there is not much confusion in either the Congress or the Janata Dal (Secular). The Congress is likely to stick with its earlier decision on the candidate for Sindgi and is most likely to field the defeated candidate in Hangal.
The JD(S) has announced its candidate for Hangal and is yet to do so for Sindgi, which it held.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
