Bengaluru, Jun 7: Suspense over JD(S) patriarch HD Deve Gowda contesting the Rajya Sabha polls from Karnataka with Congress' support continues as KPCC president D K Shivakumar on Saturday said the party has fielded one candidate and the high command will decide on what do with surplus votes.
Mr Shivakumar also said his official takeover as party state unit president is likely to take place on June 14.
"Whatever our national leadership will decide... For now we are fielding only one candidate, regarding surplus votes whatever our high command says, we will abide by it," he said in response to a question about supporting Deve Gowda.
Polls for four Rajya Sabha seats from Karnataka is scheduled for June 19.
The Congress, which can win one seat with its strength in the assembly, has fielded veteran party leader Mallikarjun Kharge as the candidate, while the BJP is yet to decide on candidates for two seats it can win.
The JD(S), which has 34 seats in the assembly, is not in a position to win a seat in Rajya Sabha on its own, and will need support from one of the national parties with their surplus votes for this.
Minimum 44 votes are required for candidates to win.
Speculation is rife that congress is likely to support JD(S) with its surplus votes if the regional party fields Mr Gowda, and in return may seek favour during legislative council polls slated later this month.
Though JD(S) legislators are of the unanimous opinion that Mr Gowda should contest Rajya Sabha polls, the 87-year-old leader is said to be undecided and weighing options.
If he contests and wins, this will be the second Rajya Sabha entry for him, the first time being in 1996 as Prime Minister.
June 9 is the last date for filing nominations.
Stating that on June 8, Mallikarjun Kharge will file his nomination for Rajya Sabha polls, DK Shivakumar requested party workers not to come to Congress office or Vidhana Soudha, where the nomination will be filed, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Let your love and affection continue, but let's not create problems by gathering here. After the election is over, and once he (Kharge) wins, you can greet and congratulate him. Let's not bring a bad name to his seniority for not maintaining social distancing by gathering," he said.

its like every month ONE SWAMI is caught for sexual activities..
ALL above big Swamis caught in this act... When will U guys WAKE up... Hindus need to understand and not fall trap to anybody...
JUst depend on GOD. To depend on GOD only, U need to learn WHO is GOD... IF U are HONEST, the GOD who created U & ME & all that EXISTS will GUIDE YOU...
STOP worry about your life with all the RAHU KALAAS and other KALASS its a game played with the one who is far from the TRUE CREATOR... When U recognize the TRUE CREATOR ... U will understand this JOYTHIS Deception like \this day is not good or that\"
STOP fearing... and LEARN who is TRUE GOD."
Idol worship is wrong and the people who run it will never say to YOU guys cos its a money making tool to fool those who doesnt look \WHO is their CREATOR\"
Unless U search for YOUR CREATOR of YOU and all that Exists... We all fall to such a way of deception in worship which make the creation like STONES as YOUR GOD or REACHING GOD (which seems that we are not using our god given intellect.)
The CREATOR says PONDER on ME ... He will Guide us ..But If we rely on IDOLs and other created objects as Gods then our Intellect is ZERO. NOTHING
God says HUMANs are Intellect than any of his CREATION, if we USE our Intellect... to HONESTLY look for HIM. He will Guide us. even if you are in deep jungle looking for HIM.
But people believe what is said and they doesnt use their intellect. which is pushing them FAR from the TRUE CREATOR.
Recognize YOUR lord and WORSHIP the CREATOR and not his CREATION... U will not fall to such pornist as your SWAMI. its not first ... U check your self... (NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI) There is no image of God ... PONDER Y are U asking with the ImAGE which is LIFELESS>>> not even move hands and heads like us."
Dear Brothers,
Please learn from these endless incidents.
Hindu community is responsible for these incidences not only the Babas.
This is the consequences of Not allowing the priests to get marry.
the same thing happens with Christian churches.
Allow the priests to get married. As they would have families, they can understand the problem of worshippers, public
Otherwise you have to face the unfortunate consequences with our own sisters.
May God Guide
BOLO BABA PARAMANAND KI...
Now many might be dreaming to became SWAMI at-least once in life time to have free fun and enjoyment with support and protection of RSS/BJP goondas and politicians
LOL..!! The continuous news of HindusSanghis involved in rapes, molestation etc. and in return the reward to set them free, one can simply say- Bharat Mata ki Jai!
LOL>>>We are not saying ALL HINDUS ARE RAPISTS. BUT ALL RAPISITS ARE HINUDS.
Doesn't it sound similar to Terrorist/Muslim etc.
Parmanand ji Maharaj: We are all fortunate to have Narendra Modi and Baba Ramdev with us.
Baba Ramdev is out of depth now. My sincere advice with Swami Parmanand jee is do Dhyan for sometime to regain balance.
Baba Hari Das gave me the name \Parmanand\". I think it was a great joke because everyone started calling me \"Parmasean\"."
Seriously i dont know, who make them famous, why people go there..
Baba Parmanand is a \stud\". Literally Was sexually exploiting infertile women to.. A feat at his age."
Just look at sanskaari, oops I mean, tharki Baba Parmanand's age. But then I am probably being ageist!
There goes another Fake Godman.
