With the deadline for public campaigning ending on Thursday evening, leaders of major political parties spent the day holding roadshows and rallies in a bid to woo voters in the three constituencies of Belagavi, Maski and Basavakalyan, which will see bypolls on Saturday. Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa was in Belagavi to campaign for the BJP candidate. Although he was to participate in various programmes, his ill health forced him to cut short the campaign in the afternoon itself. However, other party leaders, including Union Minister Pralhad Joshi and Minister Umesh Katti, continued on. Industries Minister Jagadish Shettar held continuous rallies in rural pockets. Mr. Shettar’s son is married to the daughter of BJP candidate Mangala, wife of the late Suresh Angadi.More Related News
