According to reports, both the BJP and the Congress have begun reaching out to winnable independent candidates and comparably smaller parties who ran independently in the May 10 Assembly elections.
IANS reports that the Congress has contacted SI Chikkanagoudar, the BJP candidate for the Kundgol seat in Dharwad district, who is reportedly in a close race with MR Patil. According to the report, Chikkanagoudar is close to former chief minister Jagadish Shettar, who defected from the BJP to join the Congress, and the party has reached out to him.
The two parties reportedly contacted MP Latha Mallikarjun, an independent candidate for the Harapanahalli seat in the Bellary district. She is the daughter of the late Congress leader and MP Prakash, who was denied a nomination by the party. The Chief Minister of the BJP, Basavaraj Bommai, reportedly spoke with her, and the Congress also attempted to make amends.
