The simmering discontent in both the BJP and the Congress that was brewing over the ticket distribution seems to have come down at least for the public gaze, barring the saffron party’s trouble from its senior leader and former Minister K.S. Eshwarappa.
With the last day for filing nomination papers, for the polling to be held on April 26, ending on Thursday, the electioneering is expected to go on full throttle in the 14 Lok Sabha constituencies that will go to polls first, and the dissidence is expected to decline further. In case of Mr. Eshwarappa, the nomination process is yet to begin in Shivamogga constituency.
