Karnataka Kolar Assembly Seat

Veteran Congress leader Siddaramaiah's hopes to contest from Kolar seat in the upcoming Karnataka election are likely to be dashed as the party high command, as of now, has no plans to field him from two constituencies, sources in the Congress said

In his formal application to the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) in February, Siddaramaiah had mentioned Badami, Varuna, and Kolar as the three constituencies from which he would choose.

Senior BJP leader B S Yediyurappa on Monday claimed that Congress leader Siddaramaiah was allegedly doing drama by saying he would not contest the Assembly polls from Kolar segment as announced, and may go back to his home district of Mysuru instead.

Siddaramaiah, who has decided to contest the upcoming assembly election in Karnataka from Kolar segment, asserted today that he will surely win even if Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah were to campaign against him.
