Kalaburagi: The Congress High Command has devised a novel strategy to tie up the hands of forces in Mallikarjun Kharge’s hometown. Amid Mallikarjun Kharge’s witty criticism that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is roaming around in his hometown, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has devised a strategy to make the BJP bloom in his home turf.

In the first list, out of the nine constituencies in Kalaburagi District, eight have been declared battle-learning. Out of the five, four are sitting MLAs and two are new faces. Kharge’s son Priyank has been given the ticket from Chittapur Constituency. In the Afzalpur fight for the ticket, Former minister Maliyya Guttedar got a ticket in the battle of the Guttedar brothers.

Chandrakant Patil has got a ticket from Kalaburagi North, which has managed to put aside the debate on family politics. The High Command has given a chance to BJP District President Shivaraj Patil as a new face from Jewargi this time.

Out of all the five sitting MLAs, four have been given tickets by the BJP High Command.

Surprisingly, the Sedam ticket, which has only one sitting BJP MLA, has not been announced in the first list.

The BJP has given ticket to Manikanta Rathod as a new face from Chittapur Reserved seat this time and announced a battle cry against Congress’ Social Media Head and Former Minister Priyank Kharge.
