Hubballi Dharwad Central, the constituency which gave the State two Chief Ministers (S.R. Bommai and Jagadish Shettar) has drawn the attention of the nation this election as Mr. Shettar, who was considered a “soft spoken, loyal worker” of the saffron party, sprang a surprise by going against the party’s diktat.
Mr. Shettar, whose family was long associated with Jan Sangh and who was Chief Minister albeit for a short period as leader of BJP, has now removed the saffron shawl and replaced it with the tricolour shawl of Congress party.
