The choice of Ugrappa, a loyalist of former CM Siddaramaiah, was announced on Monday after the party leadership failed to zero in on a suitable local candidate.

JDS has got two MP’s seat and one Assembly seat whether the Congress is settled with one Lok Sabha and an assembly seat. Anand Sidha Nyamagouda is the lone Congress candidate from Jamkhand assembly for upcoming Karnataka assembly by-polls. Anand is a son of former Congress MLA, Siddu Nyamagouda, who was killed in a road accident earlier this year on May 28.

Ugrappa means extremist. Shanta means peaceful. In other words it’s a battle between an extremist man and a peaceful woman. The choice if people’s.
