The Janata Dal (Secular) will announce its candidates for Mandya, Hassan, and Kolar Lok Sabha constituencies after the party’s core committee meeting on Tuesday. While former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy is set to be the party’s candidate for Mandya, a formal announcement is expected after the core committee meeting.
Seat sharing
The party is likely to name Prajwal Revanna, MP and son of former Minister H.D. Revanna, for the Hassan seat, and Mallesh Babu, the party’s defeated candidate from Bangarpet in the Assembly elections held last year, for Kolar constituency. In the seat-sharing agreement with BJP, the JD(S) will contest from three constituencies and the saffron party will contest from 25 seats.
