Congress party is weighing its options to field two candidates from the dual-member Mysuru-Chamarajanagar local authorities’ constituency elections for which are scheduled to be held on December 10.
R. Dharmasena from the Congress and Sandesh Nagaraj from the JD(S) are the sitting members, whose term is set to end on January 5, 2022. While Mr. Nagaraj has already made it clear that he is seeking a nomination from the BJP this time, the JD(S) will have to field a new face.
Though the Congress is confident of winning one seat easily, most of the aspirants seeking the party’s ticket are exerting pressure on the leadership to field two candidates, hopeful of bagging the second seat also on the premise that it enjoys enough support among the members of the gram panchayats and urban local bodies, who along with MLAs and MPs, constitute the electoral college.
