FollowAmid the fervour surrounding the Lok Sabha election in 2024, the political landscape in Karnataka is witnessing intriguing twists and turns, especially concerning former Chief Minister DV Sadananda Gowda. With his ticket lost from the BJP and his future uncertain, Gowda's next move remains shrouded in mystery, leaving political circles abuzz with speculation.
Sadananda Gowda, the sitting MP from Bengaluru North Lok Sabha constituency, has been vocal about his desire to either contest from his current constituency or secure a significant position, such as the post of Governor.

Against the backdrop of these developments, there's speculation that Gowda may consider contesting from the Chikkaballapur constituency if denied a ticket in Bengaluru North. However, this path is fraught with challenges as there is stiff competition, particularly between former minister Dr K. Sudhakar and the son of incumbent MLA SR Vishwanath, Alok. The prevailing sentiment suggests that Sudhakar might ultimately secure the ticket.
Behind the scenes, influential BJP leaders from the Okkaliga community in Bengaluru are believed to be directing Gowda's plots. It's reported that their motivation stems from concerns over the candidacy of Shobha Karandlaje for the Bengaluru North constituency, fearing it might jeopardize their leadership in the region.
