Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala nominated 5 persons, including Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) defector to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) A.H. Vishwanath, as members of the state legislative council, an official said here on Wednesday.

“In exercise of the powers vested in me under Article 171, I nominate A.H. Vishwanath, C.P. Yogeshwar, Shantharama Budna Siddi, Talwar Sabanna and Bharathi Shetty as members of the Karnataka Legislative Council,” the Raj Bhavan said in a communique.

Earlier in the day, Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa called on Vala at the Raj Bhavan and submitted a letter recommending the names for nominating as MLCs.

Though Vishwanath lost the December 5 by-elections from the Hunsur Assembly seat in the Mysuru district, the BJP leadership didn’t allow to contest in the biennial elections to the council held in June.
