The Lok Sabha seat was fought over by coalition partners in the state - the Janata Dal Secular and the Congress. Both parties wanted the ticket for themselves. The ticket finally went to the Congress, who has fielded CH Vijayshankar. His opponent - the young sitting MP from the BJP, Pratap Simha. Maya Sharma reports from Mysuru.
