1. Rebel trouble for BJP ahead of Legislative Council elections. Compelled to concede South Teachers’ constituency seat to JD(S) after announcing its own candidate, the BJP is expected to ask its nominee E.C. Ningaraju to withdraw from the fray. K. Raghupathi Bhat, three-term BJP MLA from Udupi, is expected to file his nomination papers from South West Graduates’ constituency today.
2. Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar is campaigning in Rae Bareli where Rahul Gandhi is the Congress candidate.
3. Just a few spells of pre-monsoon showers led to potholes on the roads of Bengaluru. BBMP, the city’s civic body, is expected to focus on it.
