In Karnataka, one of the biggest states of the country, the Congress party is hoping to perform better in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The party is in the government here and this time its entire emphasis is on putting as many seats as possible in the Congress’s kitty. For this reason, she is running a very aggressive and strong campaign here. There is said to be a close contest on many of its seats. Mandya is one such seat. Here there is a direct contest between BJP’s ally JDS and Congress. Former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy is in the fray from JDS side and Venkatraman Gowda, popularly known as ‘Star Chandru’, from Congress side.
This time candidates have been changed from both the parties. There was an alliance of Congress and JDS in the last 2019 Lok Sabha. Nikhil Kumaraswamy was the candidate from JDS while B J P With the support of Sumalatha Ambareesh had won the election. Now in 2024 the equations have changed. HD Kumaraswamy is the candidate after the alliance between BJP and JDS. Along with him is Venkatraman Gowda, popularly known as ‘Star Chandru’, from the Congress side.
There is said to be a close fight on this seat. That’s why former Congress President Rahul Gandhi held an election meeting on Wednesday. In this meeting he PM Narendra Modi Criticized and said that if India coalition government is formed then people will see a clear difference within a few days. That will be a government of common citizens, farmers, laborers and businessmen.
Rahul Gandhi said that the BJP led government consists of 22 to 25 rich people, but Congress will give a government which will work for the common citizens, farmers, laborers and businessmen. The Congress leader alleged that the BJP-led central government runs a ‘hafta baazi’. Along with this, he termed the now defunct electoral bond scheme as the biggest extortion scam in the world so far.
There are total 28 Lok Sabha seats in Karnataka and in 2019 General election Congress had got only one seat. BJP had won on 25 seats, while an independent candidate supported by BJP had won on one seat. JD(S) got one seat in that election and had an alliance with Congress.
Rahul Gandhi targets JD(S) B J P Said to be ‘ally’. He said that I told you during the assembly elections (2023) that there is a BJP here, which has got a ‘B’ team and you trusted it and today everyone knows that it is not just a ‘B’ team but its allies. Who helps him 24 hours.
