5-time MLA C. P. Yogeshwar quits BJP, to file nomination paper as Congress candidate for Channapatna bypoll on October 24
C.P. Yogeshwar has his own vote bank in the Vokkaliga-dominated constituency. In order to grab the seat from the JD(S) in the by-poll to be held on November 13, Deputy CM D.K. Shivakumar had visited Channapatna several times in the last few months to announce multiple developmental projects in the constituency. However, the Congress does not have a ‘winnable’ candidate in the constituency.
