The temple town of Nanjangud is witnessing a high-voltage campaign both by the Congress and the BJP to ensure victory in the by-election that will be held on April 9 along with Gundlupet Assembly constituency. With just five days to go for the voting, both the parties have made the constituency the epicentre of political activities in the State.
While the Congress, led by Chief Minister Siddharamaiah, has deputed 21 of his Cabinet Ministers to ensure the victory of Kalale Keshavamurthy, not lagging behind, the BJP, led by its State President B.S. Yeddyurappa and other party heavy-weights, is conducting door-to-door campaigns, road shows and meetings to make sure party candidate former Minister and Dalit stalwart V. Sreenivasa Prasad wins the battle.
