Bengaluru: The Election Commission this morning accepted the nomination of Congress State President D.K. Shivakumar for the Kanakapura Assembly Constituency, clearing the way for a high-profile contest between him and Revenue Minister R. Ashoka of the BJP.
Yesterday, as a precautionary measure in case his nomination was cancelled, his brother and Bengaluru Rural MP D.K. Suresh, also filed his papers for the same Constituency as a backup candidate.
