Veena Kashappanavar, Vice-President of the women’s wing of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee, has decided to fight the Lok Sabha polls from Bagalkot as an Independent candidate.
She is the wife of Congress Hungund MLA Vijayanand Kashappanavar and daughter-in-law of the former Minister late S.R. Kashappanavar.
She is upset over the party high command’s choice Samyukta Patil, daughter of Minister Shivanand Patil, over her for the parliamentary elections. However, she will finalise her decision on Thursday, as she has some hope that the party will change the candidate by then.
